  • Install all files required by the desktop environment. This can be done through the NetMAX package management utility.
  • Change the sim link to startx:
    ls -l `which startx`
    ln -sf startx.orig /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
    (replace the path to startx with what the first command returns)
  • Exit the X windows environment and log into the shell.
  • Type switchdesk GNOME (replace GNOME with the desktop of choice)
  • Log in to X Windows again.

Please note that installing update packages or upgrades may blow away these changes. In that case, repeat the steps after the upgrade to get your preferred default desktop back.
