Me too, except that I don't get a beep.

My example: MIT X11 xlife program running under OpenWindows 2.0,
olwm window manager on Sun SPARC1+, SunOS 4.1 .  The xlife program
opens a window. I can use the mouse buttons turn on/off cells or
change the viewpoint, but keyboard input never seems to get to
the program. I have noticed that the "banner" area at the top of
the window that highlights for the window currently getting keyboard
input (is this called keyboard focus?) never turns on. I can move/resize/
open/close the window, but not take to the program.

This same executable works properly on another SUN with an identical
setup except that twm is used instead of olwm. 

Any suggestions ? (Don't say to use twm or X11. That isn't an option
for me.)
