First, it's easy to test a window manager within another graphical
environment by launching Xnest:
$ Xnest :1 &
$ twm -display :1 &
The default Debian twm configuration binds the root window menu to left
mouse. "Show Icon Manager" will show the icon manager.
I like to add the following to my twmrc:
IconifyByUnmapping # don't show windowicons, just use icon manager.
RandomPlacement # opening windows isn't a drag.
ShowIconManager # show icon manager at startup.
To minimize a window, click the "circle in a square" icon, usually at
top left of a window.
