ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't kill X; it just takes you to a text console. X is still running, and if you hit alt+f7 (or whatever the first free virtual console would be), you can go back to your running X session. so that's why X won't let you start it again. (It's possible to have multiple X servers running simultaneously, but that's a rather complicated topic).
