You could always just re-start the machine, but perhaps try this first.<BR>
Drop to a terminal (ctl-alt-F1), login, and just kill gdm. Find the PID with "ps -U <username>", and then "kill <PID>" or "kill -9 <PID>".<BR>

Subject: Desktop Frozen after trying to launch NFS mounted folder fromNautilus<BR>
<BR>
Hello,<BR>
<BR>
I'm using FC6 and GNOME. I had shortcut to an NFS shared folder on my<BR>
desktop. Today I clicked the shortcut folder icon on the desktop and<BR>
nautilus and desktop froze. I can't launch nautilus. The icons on the<BR>
desktop are not visible either. Nothing happens when I right click on<BR>
the desktop. Apparently the NFS server is down. I tried<BR>
CTRL+ALT+Backspace and then swithing to runlevel 3 and back to runlevel 5.<BR>
<BR>
I still can't launch nautilus and my desktop is blackened. How can I<BR>
resolve this?<BR>
<BR>
