The Window does not have a ``Focus'' Application Resource set.

This is a known problem and one that some window managers like twm
usally automatically take care of. Particularly on de-iconify.

It can also happen if one of the shift keys (like Caps or Num lock) is
down at a particualr point in time (like when tring to select a menu
item). Thugh this usally has different effects to that described.

Add something like... 

=======8<--------
Crossedit*input: True
=======8<--------

To your .Xdefaults file
or .Xresources file if you are using a xrdb resourse method
or run on the comamnd line (or in a start up script)

   echo "Crossedit*input: True" | xrdb -merge -

or add it to the Crossedit ``fallback'' resources in its sources
if it has one -- Haven't looked.
