2.) from gui jumps to texmode , from textmode jumps to gui
3.) enabling icons on the desktop , mine not showing up even after i used the enhanced desktop and icon only options.

1) Edit /home/dsl/.xserverrc, or run the xvesa script from the menu.
2) Boot into runlevel 2 (boot option "dsl 2"). Then use the command "su dsl", followed by "startx". Your other 3 virtual terminals should be available with Alt+Ctrl+F<number>.
3) There are a few things that might cause this problem, the most common being a broken *.lnk file in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop
