I've had very little success using this method. I can only get it to
work like this:

Raise xscribble, or resize so its entire window is visible.
Bring up the root menu, and go to the System->Windows Ops menu
Click on focus. The menu will remain and you will get a bullet
pointer. Click on the window you wish to receive key events.
Now you can draw in the xscribble window, and generate key events.
