Ubuntu 9.10 boots to desktop no GUI/shell though?

Post by JAB Creations »

I've been messing with Ubuntu and got pretty far today...then an app lamed out and sucked up the CPU so I restarted...to the desktop though no shell/GUI. I can right click and get the context menu and even load programs by creating files. However it's effectively the same thing as no start menu/desktop icons in Windows when explorer.exe isn't working or isn't loaded. How do I fix the equivalent in Ubuntu 9.10?
