In addition to changing your graphical environment at the login screen,
you can switch to another environment when you are already logged in.
You can change environments by using the
Switchdesk utility (see Figure 2-8).
Whether you are using GNOME or KDE you
can select your new environment in Switchdesk
and log out. When you restart your session, you will find your new
environment.
