a) If you mean the window manager:
(As root) edit /etc/X11/window-managers and put the manager of your
choice at the top of the list. (This affects everybody on the machine;
to change things for yourself alone, edit your own .xinitrc or .xsession
file.)
b) If you mean the xterm which is started by default, you can add a number
of other programs, either in your personal .xsession or .xinitrc or in
the global file: /etc/X11/Xsession.
[.xinitrc is used if you run startx to begin X; .xsession is used if
you are running xdm. The best thing to do is link them together so
that you get the same behaviour in either case. /etc/X11/Xsession is
only used if you don't have a personal .xsession or .xinitrc.]

Install the menu package and read its documentation.

This depends which window manager you choose...
