I have a window containing several text widgets, and under various
circumstances I need the keyboard focus to be directed initially to a
particular widget under control of the application (which I am not writing
- I'm just writing them a Motif interface).

I've tried XtSetKeyboardFocus() but:

	(a) I don't sufficiently understand why there are two
	parameters, although I have both set plausibly, and

	(b) if the target widget is not the first-created, text widget
	both the target widget and the first-created have blinking
	cursors when I re-enter XtMainLoop().

What's going on here?
