The last process started should not be a background-process:
<start some processes (xterm and such) as background-processes>
xterm &
xclock &
xeyes & 
... blablabla ...
exec twm

This prevents the ~/.xsession-file to exit after starting all the X-stuff.
When ~/.xsession exits, your X-session will be terminated. With "exec twm"
in your ~/.xsession-file your ~/.xsession quits when twm is killed and
therefor your X-session is terminated when twm is killed.
If you are not happy with twm replace it with some other WM.
