The quick and dirty workaround I found for this (after about an hour's
work), was to minimize all non-crossedit screens, and make SURE that
your mouse is showing an I-bar in the box you want to edit.  I was
su-ing to root in an xterm, then starting crossedit, and I found that I
HAD to minimize the xterm or all my keystrokes went there.
