    how to end an x client session

    Here's one, admittedly inelegant, method that should work on most any Linux system to kill gdm: # ps auxw | grep gdm [identify PID (the number following "root") of the first instance of gdm] # kill [PID of gdm] For example, when I do this, ps returns: root 2221 0.0 0.6 11852 3168 ? S 12:15 0:00 /usr/bin/gdm root 14463 0.0 0.0 11908 3444 ? S 12:28 0:00 /usr/bin/gdm root 14464 0.1 1.5 13652 7864 ? S 12:28 0:00 /etc/X11/X :0 -nolisten... etc. The command kill 2221 halts all instances of gdm and its child processes (including the X server). Hope that helps.
