No login screen after frozen GUI.

[__V]

I have quite a large problem. I was moving some things between two hard drives and Konqueror stopped responding. So, I went for the GUI restart, but after the screen went black, nothing happened, as if the whole thing froze. So I restarted the machine, and now I get no login.

The "nvidia" screen comes up to show tha the drivers are working, but nothing more.

If it matters, I was only running Konqueror, Firefox, and Compiz Fusion at the time of the GUI restart.

I did notice that a little bit before the GUI restart attempt that Amarok wouldn't start up, but I don't know if that's linked to my problem here or not.

I can get to a command line at where the login is supposed to be using ctrl+alt+F1, but I don't know if that will be of any help either.
