That sure is right, once the Xserver froze my keyboard, so no way to hit
any key-combinations anymore.

That in most cases is not right (unless you're not on a network, and
therefore can't login remotely). Usually the system is still running (as
Debian really is rock stable), you just can't get to it via the local
keyboard and screen any more.
In my cases, it always helped to login from another machine and kill the
Xserver (man kill). One might have to determine the PID first (man ps).
