Recovering from stuck graphics
If your graphical session is stuck and you can no longer type in your terminals, don't reboot!
It is very likely that your system is still fine. Try to access a text console by pressing the [Ctrl][Alt][F1] keys
(or [F2],[F3] for more text consoles)
In the text console, you can try to kill the guilty application.
Once this is done, you can go back to the graphic session by pressing [Ctrl][Alt][F5] or [Ctrl][Alt][F7] (depending on your distribution)
If you can't identify the stuck program, you can also kill all your processes: kill -9 -1
You are then brought back to the login screen.
