Yup, an X classic ever since XFree86, alongside its bigger brother, ctrl-alt-bksp to kill X entirely. And it usually, though not this time, works.
I use `xkill -button 1` from a terminal. I know about ctrl-alt-bksp but never heard of Ctrl-Alt-Escape. I guess the latter is useful if you no longer have a working terminal. Good to know.
