        Cntrl-Alt-Delete to log out of some window managers (Enlightenment
for sure)

        Cntrl-Alt-BackSpace to dump X-Windows

        Cntrl-Alt-F1 to get to the first Virtual Screen and log in
as a character based login.

        Try'm in that order and see if any of these three work for you.

        The first two will log you out of X-Windows.  The third does
not but will get you to a prompt where you can kill other processes,
debug the system, or reboot if you need to (which you shouldn't).
