Hum, by default it should also start an xterm
Try to create a .xsession file in your home directory with this:
#! /bin/sh
xterm &
exec twm

and them make it executable: chmod a+x .xsession
Now you can read the twm manual and build you a .twmrc config file for the
window manager (or install another window manager :)
