There is no SSH daemon running on the desktop. After rebooting the
desktop I tried Russell's suggestion:

        $ pidof sshd

And just got another command prompt. 

More important to me is that this should not be happening in the first
place. Freezing X is pretty unforgivable for an OS, especially as the
hardware in this computer is pretty plain. That's why I'm thinking of
replacing Xubuntu with something less cutting edge. For this computer
stability is more important than features.
