NO!  If the X server is in a tight loop sometimes you cannot even get a 
login prompt at a terminal.  The ONLY thing that works is 
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.  And sometimes you have to issue it a few times and 
wait but generally it will kill the X server even when you cannot get 
logged in from a terminal.

Gerry
