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.
