Oops, I should have provided more useful information in my question
but all your assumptions are correct.

I installed PC-BSD 9.0 RC1.

I've tried to use AppCafe to install KDE but over there I can't find
any WM available under category 'window managers'.

Since I am using Simplified Chineses(locale:zh_CN.UTF-8) as system
language, from time to time, the texts will be blanked out. This could
be the reason of causing the problem. I will consider to switch it
back to en_US.UTF-8.

Thanks a ton for suggesting the 'pc-sysmanager' command line tool. I
will try it out later.
