It sounds like "mwm" or "twm" is what it has by default. Can you see how one can change the default window manager in TrueOS? In standard X11 fashion, and this includes Xorg's X server build, the "xinit" does this, and so you will need to modify your "~/.xinitrc" or the equivalent systemwide file, which should be in something like: /etc/X11/xinit/ or similar. In the case of mwm, try holding down control and right-clicking in the xterm to get some options. Same with left-click. I think you need to learn a bit about how the OS works, in general, and X11 as well. It will help moving forward to bootstartp out of these questions on your own. Time well-spent.
