Well, it's a bit off-topic, but open the Terminal and do
sudo emacs /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

and comment out the twm line by prefixing with a #
Also consider #ing out the xclock and xterm lines (except perhaps the last
one).
Finally add quartz-wm & too - the end of my file is:

# start some nice programs

#twm &
#xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
#xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
#xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
quartz-wm &
exec xterm -geometry 80x25+0+0
