What's happening here is that X11.app now reads global default
configuration from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which as you note includes the
TWM window manager, a clock, and several xterms. If you aren't happy with
this arrangement, either edit this file (you need root priviliges to do
this, so use sudo: "sudo vim /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" or similar) or,
preferably, copy it to your home directory & edit that copy:
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
vim ~/.xinitrc
Suggested change to your .xinitrc -- comment our the twm line, and replace
it with one to quartz-wm. After doing so, I ended up with these lines:
#twm &
quartz-wm &
Changes like this should address some or all of your problems. Give it a
try and see if things get better after you do that.
