As an alternative, you could also install and check out a little app called Xtart. Once installed, you can type Xtart in at the console/shell and it will give you the choice of any of the window managers/desktop environments you have installed. Simply log out (ctrl + alt + backspace is a quick way) of the window mgr/desktop env to return to console as long as you have yours set to boot to init 3. It's on the cds. -s
