The "usual" way to restart X is to use CTL+ALT+BACKSPACE but by default that is disabled to prevent accidents. You can easily turn it on though: * Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard menu. * Select the Layouts Tab and click on the Layout Options button. * Select "Key sequence to kill the X server" and enable "Control + Alt + Backspace".
