X Window takes mouse input, but not keyboard

I am using cygwin/X and Putty to connect to various UNIX servers and am
having a problem with keyboard input in certain X apps. I connect to an AIX
server with Putty using ssh and I have cygwin's X server running in
multiwindow mode. When I set my display and execute a command to start an
XWindow on the AIX machine the window loads perfectly and the mouse works.
However, when I try to enter text from the keyboard, nothing happens. The
application I am trying to use is Legato backup software, specifically the
nwadmin GUI interface. Is there some setting I am missing? I don't
understand why it would take mouse input, but not keyboard.
BTW - Thank you for a great product! I use cygwin/X on both my computers at
work and to access my Linux box from my Windows box via XDMCP at home. I
can't say enough good things about how well this works. One of my computers
at work has Hummingbird's Exceed on it, but I still use cygwin/X because I
think it works better.
Thank You,
David Wright
