Is there a way to literally kill the GUI? I run into this accidentally
today:

# svcadm disable gdm

Which throws me out into the console. The only down-side being that if
the desktop freezes, I don't think I get this line typed out, let
alone executing it...

Thanks for the information.
Does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kill the X server when it's hung?  It should.
I actually tried that as it was the first suggestion coming back from
Google - didn't seem to do anything. Not even switching to a blank
screen like Ctrl+Alt+F1 does.

That's very odd. Has the defaults for the X server on OI been changed to ignore that I wonder?
