Well, I tried that and twm didn't handle it right.  I know that what I've
done is a kludge at best, but I don't have the time to properly correct twm
right now.  I would prefer to use resources as Chris shows above, but that
line above results in the xman icon sitting in the upper left corner of
my screen (I'm running X11R3 with twm from the contrib sources
under SUN OS 4.0).

If anyone has an elegant (and working) solution, I would be happy to use it.
