Not being all that technical, I can at least confirm that I have often been able to use ps -aux in a new terminal to find the app that is locked, kill it and then go back to the x-windows session which is then running along fine. As to killing the offending app and saving work...well...that seems a matter of luck based on how options and how its written. Abiword is supposed to be very good about saving work when it crashes even on Win32, but it never crashes on me so I have no experience.
