I was in my desktop environment and accidentally exited fluxbox. now I cannot open windows etc

So I need to logout via command line. How can I logout? I don't want to reboot or shutdown (it's a server)

for what desktop/window manager?

in gnome i think it's "gnome-session-save --logout", check the man page.

no, i wanted it for avant windows navigator, because it supports only log out windows, then u can only log out, or switch user. i;ve installed lucid lynx yesterday and the applet know some more commands by default, so i dont need this anymore

Thank you so much! I tried the Gnome/Openbox setting when I logged in to 12.04. It only showed me the desktop. I was able to bring up the terminal and Firefox to view your post. I'm set to log in automatically, so even restarting my computer would not have taken me to a working desktop. Thanks for saving me from having to reinstall!

Why does Ubuntu include the Gnome/Openbox as a log-in option when it doesn't work? Doesn't seem very newbie friendly.
