Umm, I have ~/.xinitrc with twm in it. I will install ICE though.
Thought twm would do it. 

#update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
x-window-manager - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/X11R6/bin/twm
/usr/X11R6/bin/twm - priority 40
 slave x-window-manager.1.gz: /usr/X11R6/man/man1/twm.1x.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/X11R6/bin/twm.

Thanks for your help.
Chris.
