Using the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE combo to kill X

The above combo kills Xserver and gets you out of any window manager incase of an emergency. Though linux rarely goes to the "blue screen of death" mode, I find that this combo is still useful to help you in your hurry :). Beware that I have heard this may not work in Gentoo and some variations.
