I've just brought up X11R3 on a Sun 3/140 running SunOS 3.5 with a
monochrome monitor.  I've installed all of the fixes and some of the
Purdue patches (partially).  Everything appears to be working okay
except for some annoying behaviour with twm.  

I have an .xinitrc that starts up a couple of xterms and a clock and
then starts twm...  Everything comes up properly and i can manipulate
everything with the mouse, but I can't seem to be able to type into
my xterms at all...  I can still use the cut/paste things to abuse
the xterms, but I can't get any keyboard input into it...

Next thing I've tried was to kill twm and I still have my xterms which
I can now type into!  What is the deal?  Then I restart twm and
again my keyboard input is ignored...  Am I missing some fundamental
concept?

Thanking you all in advance!
