This is probably the second most commonly asked X programming
question.  The answer is that, for a client to be ICCCM compliant and
work properly with ICCCM compliant window managers, you must set
XtNinput to True on top level shells that expect input.  See Section
4.1.3 of the intrinsics manual and Section 4.1.7 of the ICCCM for
details.
