Yes. I did try that. When I did, the window cleared and left me with the 
command prompt.

Here is how to kill something you can click on:
1. Open a teminal
2. Type: xkill
3. Click on the window you want to kill (notice the changed mouse cursor)

[Russell Senior]

"both screens" ... you didn't mention that before.  This is a
dual-head set up?  In any case, you've wandered off of any reservation
I have ever visited, so I'm out of ideas.

Re: [PLUG] How do I get rid of this command line environment?

[Russell Senior]

Ctrl-Alt-F7 (and Ctrl-Alt-F8, if you had more than one X11 session
going, etc) was the traditional place to find X11.  It might be
another one, try them all.  Ctrl-Alt-F1 (and neighbors) is where the
text-based ttys live.  They work without X11.

Perhaps. But how do I get rid of it?

BTW, this "window" doesn't have normal window controls. It sits just 
under the menu line in MATE, extends across the boundary from the left 
hand monitor to partway into the right hand monitor (about the same 
width as the right hand monitor).

assume it's owned by some process, but I don't know what to call it to
search for it in the output of ps ax.

A clue stick will be appreciated.

Thanks.
