there are two ways I found.

1) Use a decent window manager - not ftwm - but say olwm (OpenLook) which
allows you to click on the background which brings up and menu with one
option to exit X.

2) Any win manager: type "ps -aux" to get a list of current tasks, find the
big 60% cpu eater called 'X' and note it's task number then kill it using
the command "Kill {task number}"
