Had the same problem with xfig.  Yes, you have to set the input hints
on the window(s):

        XWMHints wmhints;

        /* Set the input field to true to allow keyboard input */
        wmhints.flags = InputHint;
        wmhints.input = True;
        XSetWMHints(display, XtWindow(widget),wmhints);
