** Description changed: I have started the gnome-appearance-properties several times (eight times) but the gui does not show itself. The same goes for Firefox, by the way (that's why I am now using SeaMonkey, instead). + + I believe I found the reason why this is happening and the method to + manually resolve the problem: + + Somehow, the process "gdm" is starting TWICE at boot. Once I killed one + of both processes, Ubuntu automatically logged me out and forced me into + the non-gui environment (other than gnome-terminal). I could login but + not return to the gui environment of Ubuntu. When I tried "gdm", Ubuntu + told me "gdm" was already started and could therefore not be started. + + So then, I killed the remaining "gdm" process and typed "gdm" to get + back to the gui mode. This time it worked. I got back into the gui + environment. Furthermore, all programmes which were non-responsive + before, now were responding properly, again.
