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.

hello again..

pc-sysmanager will simply invoke the GUI that you already saw.. however, within that GUI, there is no section "wm" but instead look in "Desktops" and if you do add KDE by this method, beware the Caveat.

Seeyas!

Thanks for reminding.

PC-BSD 9.0 introduced PBI
Manager(http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/PBI_Manager), a suite of
command line utilities for managing PBIs. This should be the tool I am
looking for.
