Is that not intercepted to display a logout/shutdown/restart dialogue box?
(I always set things up so that that happens when in X.)

Anyway, that the computer is hung makes it not a xine bug but some
combination of X driver bug and kernel bug. You will have to reassign this
accordingly and bump the severity.

One of these will help you to get log info:

This would suggest that the nvidia taintware is the cause.

Reduced to important because it's not a xine problem.

(I was tempted to just close it on seeing "nvidia". Consider yourself lucky.)
