Possibly your window manager died. If you have an open xterm try executing it again (kwm, metacity or whatever -- you don't say which desktop you're using so it's hard to predict).
I think it is metacity. I did "metacity --replace &" and most of the open applications twitched then settled down again. But my icons, the trash-can and the desktop files didn't re-appear. This is a straight Gnome desktop as it came out of the box. No 'Computer', no 'jonathan's Home', no nothing. Not even the FC2 logo in the middle of the screen. Another thing that doesn't work is RedHat -> Browse Filesystem. The disk light flicks a bit but nothing else happens and I would have expected to be allowed to look at files.
