Change desktop environment in Solaris 8?

At the login screen there is an options button which lets you chose which desktop to use before you login.

OK, That's good for my local login, but when I log in remotely, via exceed, I call an Rexec /usr/openwin/olwm -display,,, and it will startup the openwin environment.
