You can kill the session doing CTRL + F2 to open a new terminal, enter with
root kill -9 on gdm and CTRL + F7 to back to Screen 1 to start again.

I try to use the gnome 2.20, but the new version of xorg cause me problems
because i use geforce 4 and the new xorg(7.3) needs a new version of
ABI(2.0i think) and the driver of nvidia dosn't have yet, so i do a
rollback, put
gnome 2.20 and use the old xorg and works.

But this is for me... but affects xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse
so i dont know if this is the problem for all of you, just speculating.

Allen
