How to cleanly shut down when things go wrong
Authored by: mackritter on Sep 15, '04 03:38:02AM

One of the easiest ways I have found since you can get to the Terminal. Is to top and find the process id for "loginwindo" and kill that process. That will exit you out of your user to the main log-in window from there you can reboot or shutdown.
This works in 10.3 and up. Un-sure about older version of X
