It looks like emacs stops reading X arguments after it sees "-rv".  If
you reverse the order of "-display" and "-rv" it should work.  Since
$DISPLAY is set when .startup.X is read, the best solution is just to
remove the "-display" argument.

Instead of killing mwm and starting twm, you should put

	setenv WINDOW_MANAGER twm

in .environment to have the system start twm instead.
