X (usually) runs on terminal 7. Try (Ctrl+)Alt+F7. And yes, it has

Thanks, Andrei........ what you explained was exactly what I found. X
was not running in terminal 1 at all as I expected, but was "hiding"
(from me at least) in terminal 7.
That raises the question, though, about what happined to terminal 1.
Why won't it respond, and why does it appear to be comatose???
