Well, assuming you can ssh into that system, when you do the "ps -eaf | grep X" and the X server is running you will get a line similar to

root      1365  1320  1 Sep03 tty1     03:11:27 /usr/bin/X :0 vt1 -background none -nolisten tcp -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/kdm/A:0-xBMk9b

you can then just do a "sudo kill -9 1365" replacing the 1365 with the number you get.

Now with all that said.....

I just noticed the following in you failed.boot file....

set 10 06:00:51 Fujiantonio gdm[741]: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Failed to issue method call: È stato raggiunto il timeout

This then led me to find.....

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1018902

Which sounds very similar to what you're reporting.
