After installing xfce I switched to runlevel 5 to have a graphic login. But The login box (and xfce) doesnt let me switch to text consoles with ctrl+alt+F key. Also, xfce is the desktop for root, but for normal user still is an ugly windows manager.
Not sure if this was a typo or not, but it should be ctrl+alt+F1 to get the the terminal.
To my knowledge, switchdesk works only for the user who runs it. the default desktop is controlled by /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Also, you should never log into an x session as root. In fact, beyond initial setup, I disable the root account and use sudo when I need access. But I'm probably a bit more paranoid than most.
