>Description:
After killing xinit, switching back to your X console will
leave you with a hung system.  Keyboard is unresponsive, so
you can't type into any xterms which happen to be open and you
can't switch back to a text console.  The mouse works.

Why would I kill xinit?  I have no idea.

>How-To-Repeat:
1. startx
2. Ctl+Alt+F2 (some open console)
3. killall xinit
4. Ctl+Alt+F1  (back to your X console)
5. keyboard hung!
6. reluctantly power off your computer and hope for the best
