We have this real strange problem with Epoch 3.2 and Xvision. Xvision
is a X server running on a PC under MS Windows 3.0. Epoch is running
on HP/Apollo workstations under Domain/OS 10.3, and works just fine
using HP's X servers on the work stations.

When using the Xvision server on the PC, the keyboard focus
continually shifts between the minibuffer and the first Epoch window.
If the minibuffer is iconized, the problem goes away, but it is kinda
hard to run Epoch with the minibuffer in an icon. If you deiconize the
minibuffer, the focus just starts jumping back and forth again.

If you are real quick and hit C-g while just the minibuffer is up,
with the cursor in the minibuffer, this doesn't happen. But you gotta
be real quick. Also, when you do this Epoch doesn't recognize the
mouse any more, and won't accept any events from the mouse.

The PC is an Epson Equity 386sx Plus with a VGA card. Dos 5.0, and MS
Windows 3.0 running in enhanced mode. Xvision 4.0, with PC/TCP 2.05.

Anybody else foolish enough to do this? Anybody have any ideas?
