Also, if 'Ctl-Alt-Bksp' successfully crashes X, 'Ctl-Atl-Fn(1 thru6)' should get you to a console where you can login as root, then 'init 3' to drop to runlevel 3, 'Enter' to get your prompt back and 'init 5 && exit' to logout root and log back into your desktop.
A much lengthier process than just ctl-alt-bksp since you're killing the X session anyway. I was going to suggest just doing ctl-alt-f(n) to get to a console and then immediately doing alt-F7 to get back into X. It *might* cure the problem.
