problem with keyboard focus

I'm having trouble getting the keyboard focus to follow the
pointer from epoch screen to epoch screen. Between applications, focus
follows pointer, normally. But not when entering an epoch screen.
Clicking in a screen is required to get keyboard focus to change to
that screen.

I asked this question once before, and got a couple helpful replies.
One of them guessed that this was related to a twm bug, and that the
respondent hadn't seen the problem when using epoch under mwm or
tvtwm.

I found the problem indeed went away under mwm. Unfortunately, I found
mwm pretty painful, so I finally got around to building tvtwm, and
have started using it in hopes of having the best of all worlds.

Sadly, the problem recurs under tvtwm. I suppose it might be a problem
with my Xdefaults or twmrc. All suggestions welcome.

I've lost the aforementioned reply, which was from one of the epoch
developers, and I can't remember the person's name or address. If you
remember helping me with this before, do you have any other ideas or
suggestions?

Thanks to all,

Scott Herzinger
