There seems to be a bug when running xfig under twm.  If you start xfig
with no file name and do some operations everything seems to work fine.
If you then save the file with the "Save" option in the xfig menu the 
"Text" function will not work.  You can choose the text function and
place the cursor on the canvas, but it doesn't seem to read input from
the keyboard.  This also happens when you use such things as "Read file"
from the menu.  You can get around this as long as you start up xfig from
the command line with a filename.  Also, I cannot duplicate this bug when
running another window manager such as uwm.  We are currently running 
X11R3 on Sun 3/50s.  Any ideas on what could be causing this?  Thanks.
