dtwm windows lose focus

I installed the latest patch ("test37") and I see the same
behavior.

It does seem, sometimes, that if I return to dtwm using
Alt Tab, that focus is restored - I don't usually use altar
but rather my XWin runs as one of my Windows 2000 Windows,
and I am pulling up other Windows apps from the toolbar at the
bottom of the screen.

Is there a way I can run XWin in "exclusive" mode where it
grabs the entire screen?  If this fixes the problem I might just
work that way.

Incidentally, it isn't only the bash shell that fixes the problem
but since sending my original mail I have realized that if I
restore (or create) any DOS window on top of dtwm
and then minimize it, focus is restored to dtwm.  I hope that
odd fact provides someone with a clue to what is going on!

Thanks for all responses!
