:: I'm trying to figure out how to make twm launch an application (my
:: MAME cabinet front end, 'advmenu') upon starting X.

: Try putting the stuff you want to launch at startup into your .xinitrc
: (somewhere near the bottom of this file)

Unless, you want the twm to control the termination of the session, as will often be expected. So, instead of

twm& exec some_application

perhaps

(sleep 5; some_application & )& exec twm
