Stuck on FCPX Splash Screen

I have obviously done something to totally screw (er, corrupt) my installation of FCPX as now when I launch the app, I only get the FCPX splash screen and the menu bar. Selecting any option from the Window menu shows me nothing. The splash screen says "Restoring the window layout", but nothing is shown but a large dark gray screen.

Prior to this, I was also unable to view Project List, and I could consistently get FCPX to crash by just trying to Create New Project. I've sent a half-dozen crash reports to Apple tonight. I'm guessing my Project database is corrupt and I will need to take some action to re-create.

Anyone else seen this or know how to get me out of this situation?

Grazie.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
