   Can someone tell me how I can explicitly set the input focus to a particular
   widget from within my application?

In 1.1 you should call XmProcessTraversal(target , XmTRAVERSE_CURRENT). In 1.0 you 
can use the undocumented _XmGrabTheFocus(target). Do not use the Xt interfaces
directly since you will bypass the motif traversal layer and cause it
to get confused.
