Running twm 4.0, the version that appeared in comp.sources.x in
September, under R2, SunOs 3.5, I find I cannot type into a window.
Keys are pressed -- nothing happens.  I think the problem is with
grabbing keys, since: (1) the twm event handler is receiving
events for every keypress, not just for keys that have actions
associated in the .twmrc file, and (2) when I disable the call
to XGrabKey for window contexts in add_window.c, then twm works
ok.

Maybe it's a problem with the way I made libX11.a or the Sun
server?  I used gcc, v. 1.29 for both.  What's going wrong?
