Neal:

I was getting variable results prior to installing the missing font
package.  Sometimes it wouldn't start at all, sometimes it would start
but not display anything on the screen (other than the background).  I
never got your focus issue, but giving the varying ways in which the
missing font file manifested itself, it's possible this is still your
problem.  Sorry if this comment didn't help.
