I did install xdm if that makes a difference. I went and looked through a few different files for anything that had the twm name in it since twm is my current WM when the system starts.

Just install them. In your .xinitrc add the command to start whichever !! envinronment you want to run. I.e. 'echo gnome-session > ~/.xinitrc' !! will make gnome your session.
