XBMC Desktop

Hi. Sorry for the newbie question, but... I have XBMC Eden installed and working fine, but I can't figure out how to leave the media interface and get to the desktop. Can someone help, please?

Thx!

Are you running XBMCbuntu or XBMC as an application on top of an operating system? If the latter, which operating system?

XBMCUBUNTU. I did not install it over an operating system. Thx!

Exit XBMC ("power button" icon on bottom-left of XBMC home page)
Select "Exit" on the shutdown menu
When the log-in page is displayed, enter your log-in name and password and, on the drop-down list, replace "XBMC" with "XBMCbuntu" as the session type.
Click "Log-in"
The XBMCbuntu desktop is displayed
