	There's really only one major difference - the -multiwindow flag is not set by default in startx (and Xwin?) anymore.

	Click on the background and select "kill", then, while you have the skull-n-bones pointer, click on the window you want to terminate.

	I think there's a three- or four-key equivalent, but I don't know what it is.  IIRC, twm defaults to focus-on enter, so you can just move the mouse to switch terms.
