I have run into a peculiar problem using my favorite X application,
XCONQ, on my shiny new Sparcstation.  I can't direct the input focus
to XCONQ's window.  This is true whether the client is running on the
Sparcstation or elsewhere (like the VAX downstairs), and the client
works fine when the window is on any other server I've tried.  Can
anyone give a hint what the problem is?  Anyone seen this before?
Could someone tell me how a window manager decides if a window should
be allowed to take input focus? (yes, I'm that clueless)

The machine:			SUN Sparcstation 1+
OS:				SUN OS 4.1
Brand of X:			Open Windows 2.0
Window manager:			olwm
Widget libs used by client:	NONE

Any clues most appreciated.
