Correct. This is what I always do, but with sudo (so, same thing):
$> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
Replace gdm with kdm or xdm or whatever display manager one is running.
BTW, I wonder why the OP needs to SSH to his machine unless he is
already doing stuff remotely. On my machine if X messed up, I just
switch to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2 or F3 ..) and give the command
from there.
