If this is a true issue that applies to OBSD rather than a non-issue because of custom fixes applied by OBSD, the I would suggest that there be a more configurable wm other than twm in base. The reason is simple. Anything in base has a good security audit done. Things in ports/packages don't. Personally, I use icewm since its quite light-weight yet configurable to some extent (e.g. menu and taskbar). Doug.
