how can I change to a simpler gui from the command line prior to running startx?
I've wondered more than once why finding a simple way to start the non-default DM seems so difficult to find. I looked again after first your post for well over an hour without finding a direct way. A relatively simple indirect one that works in 11.2 is to create ~/.xinitrc containing e.g. 'exec icewm', which if exists will cause IceWM to start as a result of running startx. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
