It's quite capable of running without a window manager (but it's not very
interesting in this case).

Here's a sample '.xinitrc' file

----cut here----
xterm -sb &
xclock &
twm
----cut here----

(note that 'twm' has NO ampersand following it!)
You can also modify the menue for twm (the menu it produces when you click
on the desktop). I added the following lines to the menu definition in

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc

(you can also put it in a file .twmrc in your home directory; putting it in
the above file makes it global to your system).

----cut here----
"New Window"       f.exec "xterm -sb & "
"emacs"            f.exec "emacs -font fixed -geometry 80x24 &"
----cut here----

(I installed emacs on my system)
