In case it isn't obvious: Most likely, if you use ctl-alt-F1, you will get the console from which the gui was started. If so, you will not have a command prompt there unless you kill X-windows with ctl-c. That console will show the current messages from the disfunctional gui -- probably a heap of complaints! Of course, you can hop to one of the other consoles with any of alt-F2 to alt-F6.
