Next time you're logged in and things are working, go into the keyboard
preferences, and delve through the keyboard layout options.  There's a
hotkey, that's traditionally CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X, but has
been disabled by default, for quite some time.  It's one of the first
things I re-enable on new systems.

If remotely logging into a stalled system, run the "top" command and
find Xorg, you could try killing it.  I used to do something like
switch to runlevel 3 (command line only), wait for that to complete,
then switch back to runlevel 5 (GUI).  There's probably other ways,
too.
