CLX question

I have no idea if this is where I would ask such a question, but here 
goes.  

I am trying to develop my own widget set in (sbcl/clx) and so far all is 
working very well.    However, I've hit a roadblock.   Im trying to add 
dialog boxes to me widget set.  I create a dialog box by creating a new 
top window (i.e. parent = (xlib:screen-root *def-screen*))   This works 
fine except that the dialog, when exposed, does not have input focus.   
The user has to move the mouse into the dialog box before it gets 
focus.    I've tried going the wm_take_focus route and having the WM 
send a message  saying the dialog has been requested, but that seems to 
lead nowhewre.   Trying to set input focus to the dialog or any of it's 
children does nothing.

Can anyone explain to me how you get a new top window to automatically 
gain focus.  This is done all the time with dialog boxes and other 
programs work fine, so it is not a WM setting or anything causing the 
problem.

Thanks in advance....

Bill
