accessing shell when gnome locks up.

[Larry Kelly]

I have Fedora6 with VIA chipset onboard video and Gnome.  Many of the
installed  applications will freeze the display screen, and mouse.  When
this happens is there a Gnome keyboard shortcut that will give me access to
a shell prompt, so that I can kill the offending process, or restart X
windows.  Right now, my only option is to turn the power off.
