A couple of days ago I posted this query.  I got one response which
didn't answer the question, but a couple of other messages posted
gave me the information to do what I wanted.

There are two ways:

1) Fixes the problem in general (works for xfig, xdbx, and xman, at least):
   add to your ~/.Xdefaults file the line:
      *Input: true
   and restart xnews.

2) Patch the source code for xfig and xdbx (I tried xman and couldn't find
   the right place). In xdbx, patch the file windows.c thus:

120a121,129
>     /* ask window manager for input focus: */
>     {
>       XWMHints wmhints;
>       wmhints = XGetWMHints((XtDisplay(vpane), XtWindow(vpane));
>       wmhints.input = True;
>       wmhints.flags = InputHint;
>       XSetWMHints(XtDisplay(vpane), XtWindow(vpane), &wmhints);
>     }
> 

  In xfig, patch main.c similarly, after (around line 333) "XtRealizeWidget(tool);" only change "vpane" above to "tool".
