So I boot to the command-line at runlevel 2 by default. When I want to run X, I just use the 'init' command to go to runlevel 3 (# init 3), et voila! I get the gdm login that allows me to pick between gnome & kde. To switch back, just #init 2 from any terminal window after saving anything in open windows.
I got this idea from a recent post to this list where someone pointed out that Debian intends run levels to be user-defined & configurable. Paul
