Well, this problem gave major headaches to a LOT of people in 0.2. So,
Apple put out 0.2.1 a day or two later to address this issue. Sorry to see
that you have the same problem.

When I installed 0.2 to upgrade from 0.1, I essentially moved the old
release out of the way:

cd /etc
sudo mv X11 X11.beta1
cd /usr
sudo mv X11R6 X11R6.beta1

One could also move the X11.app file out of the way, although I forgot to do
so.

Then, installing the 0.2 version went well and I didn't have a twm problem.
I didn't mention this in my previous posting because I was hoping that 0.2.1
would obviate the need for these steps. But I tend to do stuff like this to
my system because I get nervous.

Even after installing 0.2.1, you could move those directories and reinstall
0.2.1 to get a clean install.

As Edd pointed out, you need to check any config files in your own
directory.

Finally, you could check the FAQ on the Apple web site for X11. The mailing
list archives are full of this sort of information, but you'd have to sort
through a week's worth of postings that have been accumulating at about
100-200 a day.

Anyway, I'd recommend the FAQ for this and other questions about X11 itself.
