Oops.  I haven't used twm in a while, so I forgot how its windows work.  If
you control-click on the text area of the xterm, you'll get a menu which
includes quitting it.  Don't do this with the one marked login, though,
because it will kill Xwindows.

To switch window managers you'll first want to do the following:

cp /private/etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

(make sure to put in the dot on the second file, but not the first).  This
file controls how Xwindows starts up.  The system will look for your
.xinitrc file, before reading the one in /private/etc .


You can then edit your .xinitrc file.  If you look at it, you'll see that
the last couple of lines are

xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

The bottom one gives you the window marked login, and because it doesn't
have an &, it winds up being able to kill X when you shut that window.

Enlightenment is available through fink, but is in unstable.  If you were to
install it, to make it the default window manager you would:

1)  comment out the twm line of  your .xinitrc using a # at the beginning.
2)  either get rid of the last line or add an & to the end of it.
3)  as the last line of .xinitrc, put in 'exec enlightenment'
