That is what I thought, however Ctrl-Alt- plus any of the F1-7 keys get me only a blank black screen and no prompt whatsoever. And then, I can only do Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get the normal window back again, with the top bar listing Applications, Places, etc. Strange. Methinks the upgrade and subsequent deleting and adding of packages and final config borked something or other.
If I could have got to the Terminal/command line I would have tried the next logical steps but at this point I may just go back to 10.10.
