Display type:		graygda

What were you trying to do?
	Use twm warping on the rios.

What's wrong:
	Twm warps --- not all the time, but a lot of the time --- to the
	upper left hand corner of the window I'm warping to, for example
	xterm.  While on other platforms this is fine, on the rios I
	don't get keyboard focus on that window; I have to move the
	mouse to the middle of the window to start typing.  (Which
	obviously defeats the purpose of warping in the first place.)

What should have happened:
	Either I should get keyboard input, or preferably, twm will
	always warp to the center of the window, to keep things
	consistent. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	My ~/.twmrc is readable.
