Well, then X works as it's supposed to be. The standard setup is to use a rootless server and have Windows manage the application windows (like that xterm you're seeing). There should be two new icons in the try in Windows' taskbar. Make them permanently visible, you can start some applications via the context menu from there. If you insist on using a root window and run a separate window manager on it (which I would only recommend if you dedicate a separate monitor to it), then WindowMaker is lightweight and doesn't pull in as many dependecies as some of the other choices.
