Comment(by hamish):

 If I run "`d.mon stop=cairo`" from the terminal's command line while the
 GUI is locked up, life returns to the GUI, although there is a traceback
 to do with opacity shown in the output tab after:
 {{{
 Command 'd.rast -o map=elevation.dem at PERMANENT' failed
 Details: No graphics monitor has been selected for output.
 }}}

 and the mouse cursor remains as an hourglass. But you can use the menus
 and go to prefs and switch back to the "default" display driver, then
 render maps the old way, etc.
