Keep in mind sysrq works form inside X too...
As long as the kernel is still running and the input layer is working
you should be able to use the keys even if you can't see the results.
X can not trap or block those key sequences... in fact some of the
commands allow one to recover from a locked up X server, (although
resetting the graphics card after a X failure may require some advanced
preparation to safe the video state from before X is started).
