Hmm.. let's try

man twm

Ok... here we go:

       When new windows are created, twm will  honor  any  size  and  
location
       information  requested  by  the user (usually through -geometry 
command
       line argument or resources for the  individual  applications).   
Other-
       wise,  an outline of the window's default size, its titlebar, and 
lines
       dividing the window into a 3x3 grid that track  the  pointer  are  
dis-
       played.   Clicking pointer Button1 will position the window at the 
cur-
       rent position and give it the default size.

etc.etc.etc.

Probably, you could set up those X11 configuration files that tell each
application how you want it to display. Alternatively, you could install
a more modern window manager and solve all of your problems.
