Is it JUST brown, or are there subtle shadings in the brown, like the
middle of an Ubuntu wallpaper? - if so, you MAY somehow have made your
logical screen size greater than your physical screen size and are
peering at Ubuntu's navel, and can't see the Gnome "command lines" - you
may be able to resize from an alternate console.

What happens if you right-click?
