there should be a process for the X-Server (the binary is typically
called "X"). Try a "ps ax | grep X" (capital X) and kill or kill -9
the X-Server. This is a brutal way, but it should get rid of the X for
you.
Is it possible that only the Netscape hangs? This is a problem I
encounter once in a while. If you can find the netscape in the
"ps ax"-list, try killing it first.
