You don't remember correctly. The default window manager for X is the
twm window manager, not ol(v)wm. The correct way to setup what programs
run when you start X is to make an .xsession file, like this:
echo "exec /usr/X11R6/bin/WindowMaker" > ~/.xsession
chmod +x ~/.xsession
>From then on, use a text editor like joe (good choice for newbies) in
order to edit the ,xsession file.
