How about using http://localhost:631 with lynx or some other such text based browser.
I ended up writing a 2-line .xinitrc file to solve this problem:
xterm & exec metacity
This at least lets me temporarily "shell into X," as it were.
This works because I've got enough of X and GNOME installed that I can get the GUI up and run programs, but the GNOME desktop proper isn't yet completely functional.
