I have attempted to get a misbehaving X windows system to restart without rebooting the machine. In the past, as I recall, ctrl-alt-backspace would do this. This evidently has been disabled with the current X windows releases on Linux, including SL 6 . What is the current equivalent (perhaps a shell command), or how does one reactivate a control sequence to force the X server to exit and restart/reinitialize, with a fresh login screen?

I have found some references using a web search to this issue for a number of current Linux distributions, but none of the offered "cures" seem to work with SL 6 (or presumably any RHEL 6 variant).
