Vinux - getting back to Gnome

Hello, Glenn.

If I remember correctly, I believe that CTRL+ALT+Tab is what is used to 
access the top panel in GNOME, unless I am mistaken.

Every Linux distro I have worked on uses CTRL+ALT+(F1 through F6) to 
enter virtual terminals which are nothing more than a complete command 
line environment, unlike the terminal window in GNOME which is (to my 
remembrance) referred to as a terminal emulator. You should be able to 
hit CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to your graphical desktop environment.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
