Hello...

    Is there any way to solve the problem of killing off the window manager
    process without rebooting the whole system?

    Following is a more specific statement of the problem.

    Occasionally, someone will kill of all their processes while running
    windows.  This causes the console (the terminal curently being used)
    to start misbehaving.  It logs the user off, gives a login prompt,
    and then stops receiving input except for a carriage return and a
    new login prompt after each key is hit.

    I'm running X with twmrc.

    Any help would be geatly appreciated, as I'm fairly new to the world
    of X-windows.
