Interesting. The grep command gave me:

	320874 ? 03:37:35 vlc

Even though there was no VLC window on the desktop. So then I did
'killall vlc,' but it still wouldn't launch. Finally I opened the GUI
task manager and there it was, still running. I killed it with the task
manager, and that did the job. All is well now.

I should probably oughtta file a bug report about this - an instance of
VLC running when there is no window for it is just wrong.
