XDM runs until the .Xsession finishes being executed. In your case, you
end your .Xsession with an exec of xterm, so that becomes the "critical"
client that XDM waits for. If you want XDM to end the session when the
twm is quit, then exec twm as the final application in your .Xsession
and make sure all the rest of the applications in your .Xsession are
run in the background.
