I'm stumped.  I have a bulletinboard widget that contains two single line
text widgets and a couple labels.  I want to be able to press <Return> 
in one of the text widgets and have the focus automatically shift to the
other text widget.

I tried using XtSetKeyboardFocus with limited success.  The focus _does_
change, but the text cursor in the first widget keeps blinking.  It seems
that there is confusion between the program and the window manager as to
which widget really has the focus.

Is there a better/another way?  By the way, I'm using Motif 1.0.3 and the
X11R3 libraries, but running X11R4.

Thanks,
  Ray Roux
