keypress events in text widget

[Joe Pfeiffer <pfeiffer cs nmsu edu>]

If this one got out before and you saw it, I apologize for repeating
myself.  But I saw no responses...

Anyway, I am using a text widget in my application.  When I run it,
the very first time I want to enter text in the widget I have to
do a button click in the window.  After that, focus seems to follow
the mouse properly -- if I move the pointer over the window, I'm able
to enter text.  So....  does anybody have any idea why this is
happening?  And better, how to fix it?
