I run a root KDE session although I have been told that this isn't a 
good idea.  So, do so at your own risk.

Other than that, you can open an editor that isn't KDE in TWM (if you 
execute "startx" from a virtual terminal, that is what you get as 
default unless your distro has changed it).  If I have gEdit working, I 
sometimes use that in TWM.  If you have a full X installation, there is 
also Xedit although it is a little harder to use that gEdit.  Or you can 
use VIM in the virtual terminal (I only do that when I have to -- when I 
can't get X to run).
