What key combination would get me going or to a shell?
Probably none. If it doesn't react to CTRL-ALT-DEL it's frozen to death.
Kai: I tried that and I tried CTRL-F2, when it happened, but neither helped. Lanny
Did you try switching to a virtual terminal, e.g. <CTL>-<ALT>-<F1>?
If the box is not totally frozen this should let you work at a command line. Then you might be able to restart the desktop with a telinit 3 and telinit 5 combination, look at log files to see if there are any messages, etc.
