I can't help you the first part, I'm sure others will, but in regards to how to
shut down Xwindows if it locks up totally, here is an answer.
Ctrl + Alt + backspace will kill the X session and drop you to the command
prompt if you booted in run level 3 or back to the sign in screen if you booted
in run level 5. It would probably be best to re boot at that time.
