There are several things that can be done.
o You can open another virtual console "CTL-ALT-F?", login as root and do
"init 2" which will bring the sytem to run level 2, no xwindows.
o You can open another VC and CTL-ALT-DEL.
o You can open the other VC and reboot, but then you'd have the problem with
the xwindows coming up again so, youcan enter this at the lilo boot:
"kernellabel 1" to come up in single user mode, or "kernellabel 2" to come
up in run level 2 (without xwindows). Then, edit inittab or run yast to
modify inttab for an ASCII login until you get the xserver problem
resolved and them put it back.
o You can edit the KDM screen to allow ALL to do the shutdown/restart so
that next time you have the problem you can use the menu item to restart
from the kdm login menu
Etc...
