I realize that this refers to one of the most asked questions,
but I am looking for specifics, and all my efforts to follow the
general suggestions I have seen posted in the past have failed.

I am using Sun's Open Windows X11/NeWS server.  Some programs do
not get input from the keyboard, e.g. xfig and xdbx.  (I fixed
xgone by adding XGrabKeyboard() -- send mail if you want the
diffs).  I know that the problem is caused by the client not
asking for input focus, and that adding a call to XSetWMHints()
should fix it.  I tried that at several points in xdbx, and got
runtime error messages.  I also tried setting XtNinput to True in
several argument lists -- didn't work.  I also tried the patch to
$OPENWINHOME/etc/NeWS/Xwmclient.ps mentioned in Sun's bug list
and in this group earlier -- it didn't work.  So I am asking
specifically -- if any one has gotten xdbx and xfig to work
under Open Windows, could you mail me the diffs?  I'll post the
results if I have success.

Thanks.
