The shell resource XtNinput indicates to the window manager whether
an application expects keyboard input.  If XtNinput is TRUE, the 
window manager gives keyboard input focus to the application under some
condition, in this case clicking in the application window.  If it is
FALSE, the window manager may never give keyboard focus to the application.
