I killed my GUI!

I'm not sure what version I'm using (cf: lack of GUI), but I'm running deluge on Ubuntu Studio, with Gnome. Everything works fine for torrents, but I set deluge to minimise to tray when the window closed, and also to start minimised. Obviously, this is not the 'system tray' that, say, Amarok sits in.

Now, I have no GUI. My slow connection, and top, tell me that I'm torrenting just fine. I can kill the app, and start it again, and I get a "Starting Deluge" notifiction in the bar at the bottom of the screen, but then nothing.

Is there any way to invoke the GUI so I can undo these changes?



(apart from this: MEGA thank you for this application. It's great!)

rm ~/.config/deluge/prefs.state will reset your preferences. and you should look into upgrading to 0.5.5

Thank you very much!

Also FYI: this was on 0.5.5. Not sure if this was caused by odd Gnome settings or something... if there's any system info I could supply that could help, please just ask.
