I was experimenting with the Desktop Tool and tried
the TWM desktop, so I thought. I'm now unable to log

create another login name but all my modifications are
in the original.
Is there ANYWAY of switching out of TWM into either of
the other two desktops from the terminal window and
make it stick when I reboot.
Thank you,

If you cannot get either KDE or Gnome you killed something they need to
execute.
You have two or three basic choices from what I understand.
1) Do an upgrade and hope to restore your desktops.
2) Save your data and reinstall.
3) Probably the best if you are able. Determine what is missing or
corrupted by starting them in debug mode and reinstalling these
packages.
In any case you have a messy issue, so be prepared for some hard work.
You should try:
switchdesk
at the command line if you haven't.
