Okay, think this through. You logged out of an Xwindow manager. Where did
that leave you? Well, it left you logged out of an Xwindow manager, I
suspect. Where would you log in again, do you think? Do you suppose a
console might work? Do you know how to get to a console?
Hint: learn to run your machine from the console before you get too used
to depending on an Xwindow GUI. Sometimes the keyboard will lock up on
you, but if you've compiled the magic sys-req into your kernel, you can
often get out without too much damage. Anyway, things to learn about, I
think.
