You have set your connection so that the MacX window server also provides 
a window manager. In MacX parlance, this is called "rootless" display 
mode. What you want is "rooted" display mode. Then you can run the Motif 
Window Manager (mwm).

Under the Remote menu, select Edit Command... and Edit the remote 
command(s). In the Edit Remote Command dialog there is a pop-up called 
Display: that is used to set Color or B&W Rooted or Rootless modes.
