When I have an App*Geometry: (where "app" is some application)
resource, or if I say "app -geometry ...", I don't get a titlebar, and
I don't get an entry in the IconManager.

Is this a feature?

Bummer.  This dosen't sound even remotely familiar.  There are a 
couple of things that could cause this:

1.  You have specifically asked twm to not create a title bar or
    icon manager entry for the specific App via NoTitle and 
    IconManagerDontShow in your .twmrc file.

2.  The window is somehow being created with the override_redirect
    attribute set and twm is not seeing the window.

A couple of questions, can you move the thing via f.move from a 
menu?  If you can, then the window has been reparented, you should
probably check your .twmrc file.  If you can't move it, then it 
is probably an override_redirect window.
