Ok, so this has been asked before, I didn't have the problem so I ignored
the answer.  But now I do...

I'm trying to run xterm when using twm.  As soon as twm gets going and
reparents the xterm, keypresses don't make it to xterm anymore.  Button
presses (ctl mouse 1 etc) all work fine.  Mouse movements cause the
appropriate focus change, the title bar icons work, just no characters
that are typed make their way to xterm.

This doesn't happen on a sun client-server mix, but I have seen it happen
in the past when the server was R2 and the client R3.  We are trying
to run X terminals (R2 and R3) with R3 clients (on SunOs3 & 4).

Please help!  I have begun to debug the problem, but would really rather
get back to what I was doing.  Sooo, if anymore knows the magic answer,
please post it.

Thanks in advance... Tom
