When you like to open a Xterm window on your PC (e.g. running winXP), you need a window manager like Hummingbird.

If do not like Hummingbird (to expensive, to big) you can get a window manager from the internet.

I do not know where, i never used a free one, but Iam sure there are some out there

gnome-wm

GNOME(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GNOME(1)

gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-wm  script  invokes the user selected window manager.  If the user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME
       compliant window manager.

       The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.  If a --default-wm	option	is
       given  the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set.  If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it
       is the same as if no default was given.

       The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.

ENVIRONMENT

       The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.

PERSISTENT SETTINGS

       The program stores the current selection of a window manager in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default

SEE ALSO

       gnome-session(1),default.session(5)

BUGS

       If you find bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included  with  the  GNOME  libraries
       distribution.
