A quick and easy to remember method: Add the following to your 
/etc/inittab file, and make it executable. Then run 'inittab 3'. It 
suddenly strikes me that you may be able to do this, by merely 
're-starting' X. I'm not near my F15 box ATM so I am not sure. But a 
reboot works. After doing whatever, 'inittab 5' and re-start.

#  REVISED INITTAB
# To set the default systemd target
# run as an executable with a level parameter
#    eg:  inittab 3
#  this defaults to non-graphical for anything other than 5
#  ..possibly dangerous with a 0 or 1, or even 6!

export LEVEL=$1
echo ""
echo " Setting RUNLEVEL to " $LEVEL
echo ""
if [ $LEVEL = "5" ];
then
   rm -vf /etc/systemd/system/default.target
   ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target 
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
   echo "   Default target set to graphical.";
else
   rm -vf /etc/systemd/system/default.target
   ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target 
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
   echo "   Default target set to multi-user.";
fi
