(Apologies all for top-posting; I am on the road and am forced to use my institution's MS webmailer...)

You could always just re-start the machine, but perhaps try this first.
Drop to a terminal (ctl-alt-F1), login, and just kill gdm. Find the PID with "ps -U <username>", and then "kill <PID>" or "kill -9 <PID>".

Subject: Desktop Frozen after trying to launch NFS mounted folder fromNautilus

Hello,

I'm using FC6 and GNOME. I had shortcut to an NFS shared folder on my
desktop. Today I clicked the shortcut folder icon on the desktop and
nautilus and desktop froze. I can't launch nautilus. The icons on the
desktop are not visible either. Nothing happens when I right click on
the desktop. Apparently the NFS server is down. I tried
CTRL+ALT+Backspace and then swithing to runlevel 3 and back to runlevel 5.

I still can't launch nautilus and my desktop is blackened. How can I
resolve this?
