xconsole won't allow input!?!

["Michael Kahle" <geopoliticus@onebox.com>]

I have been using Debian Woody now for about 2 months.  This is installed
on an old P5 166 w/ 64 mb of ram.

I made the decision today to install XFree86 with afterstep for a lightweight
window manager.  I managed to get everything working fine, but when I
launch XConsole it won't let me put any input into the xconsole window.
 When I'm root I get a blank window and when selected I try and type
and just get beeps every time a key is pressed.  When I am logged in
as my user account, I still get the beeps but the window says, "Couldn't
Open Console".  Any ideas?
