Hi Carl, Yes, you are right. It should be twm. xdm is the graphic login thing. I guess system start xdm directly after booting and then twm comes up because I only see xdm in the rc?.d directories.
I did miss .xinitrc file. I don't have it. After creating .xinitrc file, everything is ok on my machine now. Thank you!! How come the Xinstall.sh doesn't create .xinitrc file for me? Does it assume I'll use X and don't want to terminate X? Just a thought. Do appreciate your help.

X normally exits when the last program mentioned in your .xinitrc file exits. if you have a .xinitrc file, and it's empty, X should start and exit right away. > >> Every time I click "exit" in X, > >click 'exit' where? is this with GNOME, KDE, FVWM? > > The X default one. XDM. If I click mouse in backdrop, it appears a pop menu. > The "exit" is in bottom of the pop menu. no, XDM is a Display Manager. it's one of the GUI login things. you're probably thinking of TWM. > >> the X hung, > >what do you mean by 'hung'? > > After clicking "exit", window frames (three xterm window) freeze and mouse > doesn't work, but I still can type in xterms. that just means your window manager exited. perfectly normal behavior. if the window manager was the last thing in your .xinitrc; then exiting the WM should kill X. so if you don't have an .xinitrc file; make one with only the following line in it: twm then when you start X; and exit your window manager (twm); it should cause X to exit, since it's the last thing mentioned in your .xinitrc (the last X client started from .xinitrc).
