would it not be great to chose witch GUI you should boot into right from the start?
I do not mean like grub, my thought is more in the way of holding "R [as in top Right]" while power on to boot directly to the minimalistic GUI, or holding "L" to boot directly to the desktop.

Now i know that most of the time the pandora will be in "sleep/suspended" mode but why not have the same thing there?
holding a certain button while opening the lid takes you to the GUI you want to directly.

what do you think about this?
 
We built a limited form of this. It will surely come post relase, as it is not at all difficult to implement.

As is you can select a preferred environment, and all those environments also let you run the others, or change your preference. So it's not a big deal, but a thing like grub that comes up when you bootholding Select (say) will surely come :)

(or just add another environment to the boot picker, and set it. And it's job is to just check for held button, and if not, launch a default. See how easy it'd be :)
