 * TkpChangeFocus --
 *
 *	This function is invoked to move the official X focus from one window
 *	to another.
 *
 * Results:
 *	The return value is the serial number of the command that changed the
 *	focus. It may be needed by the caller to filter out focus change
 *	events that were queued before the command. If the function doesn't
 *	actually change the focus then it returns 0.
 *
 * Side effects:
 *	The official X focus window changes; the application's focus window
 *	isn't changed by this function.
