I'm trying (with X and XView) to implement a passive grab (XGrabKey) to
capture arrows keys in my application.  All seems to work well, but....
I don't get KeyPress events (other than repeat keys) to my grab window
event handler, only KeyRelease events.  Is XView mucking something up?
Perhaps I don't understand passive grabs.  Nonetheless, is there any way
to grab the initial KeyPress events?

Thanks, - Jeff
