I'm not sure you have to use full screen mode, but it's probably most
convenient as you'll at least get a consistent interface then.
It's probably not a bad idea to have a 'quartz-wm --only-proxy' line
before the 'exec twm', as this will let you keep the copy and paste
link to the Aqua side of things.
