Changing Desktop Environment by mistake

Hi,
I'm using fedora 15,
my defualt DE is XFCE I once saw that there is a option in startup DE's that I can select and it was OPENBOX. I just wanted to test it. but after choosing it as my DE here I am. I have just access to terminal, firefox.. what's in my desktop. there is no panel here. I want to go back to XFCE or Gnome 3.
when I restart my laptop it bypasses the startup login where I want to choose XFCE or Gnome.
please help me

NAME
sysman_intro - Introduction of SysMan applications DESCRIPTION
SysMan is a suite of applications for managing Tru64 UNIX systems. The SysMan applications provide a simple, easy to use, graphical user interface (GUI) for common system management tasks including installation and configuration. When you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Guide, the installation GUI, Installation Setup, is displayed automati- cally. To help you prepare the system for general use, the Tru64 UNIX: System Setup checklist is displayed when you log in as root for the first time after performing an installation. SysMan applications and help are available from the Application Manager (tool drawer) icon on the CDE front panel, or from the SysMan Applications panel above the SysMan Station icon on the root CDE window. For additional information, see the Welcome to SysMan help volume by performing the following procedure: Click on the Application Manager icon (the file drawer) on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the Welcome to SysMan icon. If you are not running CDE, but have installed it, you can open the Welcome to Sysman help volume by entering the following sequence of commands at the command line: /bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export PATH DTHELPSEARCHPATH=/usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/%H export DTHELPSEARCH- PATH DTUSERSESSION=${USER}-`uname -n`-0 export DTUSERSESSION dthelpgen -dir $HOME/.dt/help/$DTUSERSESSION dthelpview -helpVolume browser SEE ALSO
