From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060103 Fedora/1.5-4 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
When using the switchdesk gui to select TWM, switchdesk asks for it to be installed. Did a 'yum list xorg-x11-twm' and this shows xorg-x11-twm.ppc to be installed, 1:1.0.0-1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
switchdesk-4.0.8-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run switchdesk twm or switchdesk and use GUI to select TWM
2.Click OK
3.
  

Actual Results:  Says that twm needs to be installed

Expected Results:  Switchdesk should have made twm default Window Manager

it's now fixed in switchdesk-4.0.8-3, it will show up in next rawhide.
Thanks for your report.
