I installed Woody 3.0 from official CDs and it gave me a graphical login (gdm). I prefer it to the command line login, but it means that configuration requiring restarting X presents problems. Often, a reboot is the only sure way.

Does control-alt-backspace to kill X not eventually work? (It usually takes
me two times here.)

It returns me to the graphical login screen. Not sure if this is really a retstart of X. But:

Personally, I usually drop to console then issue an '/etc/init.d/gdm
stop' then do any apt-get install/upgrades or config changes -- then
issue an '/etc/init.d/gdm start'.

This seems like the solution I am looking for. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
