Or:

- alt-sysrq-r then ctrl-alt-backspace  --  you did compile magic sysrq
  into your kernel, right? If that doesn't work, alt-sysrq-r, alt-sysrq-i,
  alt-sysrq-u, alt-sysrq-b (respectively, get the keyboard in a sane state,
  kill all non-init processes, unmount the disks, and reboot)

- ssh in from another machine, and kill X

- log in via a serial console, and kill X

I appreciate the last two might not always be options for the average home
user...
