If it's enabled, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will halt X and all GUI stuff, and

If you use gdm or similar I think that usually just leads to the display
manager restarting.
Yes, that is my experience. It doesn't get rid of X.

They could hack /etc/X11/default-display-manager to comment out what's
there or redirect it to /bin/true, then reboot and start from console
only with the display manager disabled. Then, once they'd done what they
wanted in console, they could hack the file back to uncomment or put
back the original configuration. Just a thought.
