Looking now ........... some notes (mostly to self) in case things crash before I find what I'm looking for;
sudo service gdm start shows gdm is already running
Ctrl+Alt+F7 takes me to the screen displayed in the attached screenshot
Ctrl+Alt+F1 takes me back to a TTY and then sudo service gdm restart gets me to what seems to be a working DE
I'll try to follow up with some logs if I can find anything that appears pertinent.
