Eric-
It might work better if you set the XV_KEY_DATA in a call to xv_set()
AFTER the call to xv_create() which creates the panel.  I have found
xview to be flukey in that regard.  Sometimes things just don't
take if they are assigned in the create, and other things don't take
if they are assigned after the create, and still other things don't
work quite right if they are created after the call to xv_main_loop().

Anyway, that's my suggestion.  Good Luck.
