Thanks. 

Unfortunately, it lists about 50 files. :(

Scanning the list I saw "/etc/init.d/NetworkManager" which looked
promising. But that got me:

j...@devil7:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager
[sudo] password for jjj: 
Usage: /etc/init.d/NetworkManager {start|stop|restart|force-reload}

I think I need to find out what launches the GUI.

It used to be that the GUI launcher was in System > Administration >
Network. My "Network" launch item is missing. If someone who has
"Network" listed there can open the menu editor and right click on the
item, it will say what the command to launch it is.
