How do I debug this to get my desktop back (by which I mean visible to me - I'm sure it's there!)?
Drama over..
I don't think I had done any updates recently as there were loads waiting to be done. Anyway, via SSH I did apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade and rebooted and now my desktop is back.
I tried several reboots before this without getting it back so i have no idea what changed between a working system and a broken one, and then between that and a working one again.
Bizzare...
