One sentence description: X-windows is a server-client-model where the server manages graphical resources and distributes them among the clients, that can connect to the server via some network to request some action.

If not, and you are interested in a quick test, do the following: "ps -auxg | grep twm" The 2. column contains the process-id of twm. Let us name that number twm-pid (for the duration of this little excercise) "kill -HUP twm-pid" ... where twm-pid is the number from the action above.
