Depending on what sort of unix system you are on, Ctrl-Alt-F1 may not be exitting X at all; on Linux and BSD systems, that switches you to a different virtual console. Your X session is still active on another console. Try Ctrl-Alt-F7 or somewhere nearby, if that's the case, and you should be able to switch back into your X session to exit it correctly.
