That would be twm. You need to start gnome instead of standard X. There are a couple of ways to do that. Read the FreeBSD Gnome FAQ:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html

In short, either use GDM or check out the following advice (from point 2 of referenced FAQ):

To start GNOME 2.26 under X without using GDM, add the following line to ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc, as appropriate (see startx (1)):

exec gnome-session
 
Code:
echo "/usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc
startx
if this does not work to you ,type :
Code:
gdm
the login manager will appear to you .
 
re

i have done these all.
i see the logs , it said that the dbus is not compatible
so i make buile clean dbus
then startx is ok
but it has many windows, and mouse can't click
now i don't know how to do
when quit x-win,the screen printed that the dbus is not compatible
