"starttwm" doesn't work and "twm" just gives me "Unable to open > display "" ". twm isn't a desktop environment, just a window manager, and it doesn't come up with a fancy startup script. You just run it with a DISPLAY set and it will manage that display. Typically you just stick "twm" at the end of your .xinitrc and then start x11 via startx, if you're not using a display manager.
