I think perhaps you misunderstood my question. I know how to shutdown/
reboot my machine and exit out of my window manager. My question is what
do I do when I can't do any of those things? In theory, when I can't do
any of the normal ways of getting out of X-windows, I can press cntl-alt
backspace and it will dump me out of X. With my current setup, this isn't
the case. I would like to know how to get it setup so that this _does_
work.
