Please wrap your lines around 72 characters, see

X is fine, you are using a minimal display manager, which doesn't have
all the fancy features you are looking for.

See this section of the handbook for more information:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html

But what makes you think you'll get a "start" menu in any case?
