Here are a couple of work-arounds:

1. NoTitleFocus

	If you use twm, setting NoTitleFocus in your .twmrc may solve the
	problem.

	Advantage:

		This is very simple.

	Disadvantage:

		If you are distributing your application, you will need to tell
		your end-users about this too, so this solution is unreliable.
		(End-users are inherently unreliable. :-)

2. X Toolkit

	Apply the appended unofficial patch in lib/Xt.

	Advantage:

		This is reliable, because it gets compiled into your
		application.

	Disadvantage:

		You have to find and compile lib/Xt.
