Yeah, what's up with that? I love 'which' and half the distros
don't seem to ship it. (which is a program that searches the
PATH for the command you give it...like, it finds twm. The
shell built-in "type" command does a similar thing)
Instead of 'which twm' find the path for twm:
duke@duke:~> type twm
twm is /usr/bin/X11/twm
and put that path after startx.
