(I'm use to using xdm, so take this with a grain of salt)

This is configurable via /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc - vi the file,
and you'll see that the last few lines launch twm, two xterms, and a clock
IIRC.  I usually just create my own by creating ~/.xinitrc, which usually
looks something like this:

xterm &
xclock &
xwhatever &
blackbox

This way the wm manages when the X session dies.

This process may be different when using startx, but IIRC it's pretty much
the same.

Perhaps the wrong mouse protocol, but usually that renders the mouse
totally inoperable.  Are you sure it's not just a quirk of twm (I'm not a
twm fan, so I'm guessing on this one)?

Hope this helps,
