Well, yes. But be aware of the fact that - depending on the |
| 9 |
configuration, this *might* not work when issued inside an X session |
| 10 |
(via an xterm or similar) or may at least lead to... undefined behaviour |
| 11 |
;). But it is safe to issue from within a virtual terminal |
| 12 |
([Alt][F1-F6]). |

A magic key combination is [Alt][Ctrl][Backspace]. This immediately |
| 15 |
kills the X-Session (if it is not disabled in the xorg.conf) - GDM and |
| 16 |
KDM will then restart right away (KDM will do that forever, GDM only |
| 17 |
about 3 times) though Slim for example wouldn't. |
