I am begining to use Xlib, and I have a simple question about a problem
I have, with X11R3 (with purdue patches) running on a Sun 3/50:

My program is doing XSelectInput(.,.,KeyPressMask) on several windows
of my display.  It receives KeyPress events for any kind of window
except xterm windows, and that happens whether or not a window manager
is running.  There is no problem with KeyRelease events.

Is that a known bug, or is there an explanation (and a work-around)
for that behavior?
