olwm and Xt/Xaw based applications

I routinely compile many of the contributions from comp.sources.x but with
many applications, I have trouble entering data. For example, with dclock
the man page says I should be able to change the attributes of the clock
by typing various characters. All I get is a beep from olwm! The same
with xrlogin: when I try to enter the "remote user name", beep-beep-beep
and no characters appear.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a known solution?

Thanks in advance!

Set the olwm resource "focusLenience" to true (see the olwm man page
to make sure I've got the spelling right).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
