Hmmmm...you need an .xinitrc now.  I think that there might be an example
of one in the faq, but simple one to get you going might be:

#!/bin/sh
xterm &
twm

so that when you quit the window manager, it exits X.  If you do it the
other way around:

twm &
xterm

(which is how most people do it, I think), X exits when you exit the
xterm.

if you read the man pages for xinit(1) and X(1), they might also have some
more useful (and full featured ;-) examples.

Later.
