The version of xfig I have (1.4.3, X11 patchlevel 6) has a problem inputing
text AFTER almost any option in the popup menu (right button) is selected.
Text input works fine when xfig is first started but once, say, save is
selected in the popup menu you cannot input text. The text input prompt
and cursor appear when you click where you want the text but anything
typed is not echoed.

However, if you select "save in" from the popup then text can be typed
in for the file name (in the bottom widget) but still not for text on
the canvas.

I have followed through the code and it appears that after using the popup
menu keyboard events are not reported. I have tried doing another
XSelectInput() and XtAddActions() incase the popup is effecting something
but to no avail.

Is this an xfig bug or an Xaw bug? Does anyone know of the solution?

	Thanks in advance, dmh
