I just got through with this same problem (i.e. my I-bars didn't go where
I set the keyboard focus) - instead of using the XtSetKeyboardFocus
call, the FAQ directs Motif 1.0 users to the undocumented _XmGrabTheFocus:

_XmGrabTheFocus(widget);   /* where widget is to get the keyboard focus */

If and when you go to Motif 1.1 as I just have, a new function is added
called XmProcessTraversal.  From what I here its had some problems but
its worked for me pretty well so far.
