I examined the .twmrc that you have the following

>>Monochrome

>>  BorderColor		"white"
>>  {
>>     "xeyes"	"black"
>>  }
>>  DefaultBackground	"black"
>>  DefaultForeground	"white"
>>  IconBackground	"black"
>>  IconBorderColor	"white"
>>  IconForeground	"white"
>>  IconManagerBackground	"black"
>>  IconManagerForeground	"white"
>>  IconManagerHighlight	"black"
>>  MenuBackground	"white"
>>  MenuForeground        "black"
>>  MenuShadowColor	"grey"
>>  MenuTitleBackground	"white"
>>  MenuTitleForeground	"black"
>>}

I suspect that you would have the same problem on a color DECstation. 

RS/6000's while they look monocrhome, are really gray-scale monitors.
There is no such thing as a monochrome RS/6000 so these defaults are not
used. Try placing those defaults in a Color structure.
