This happens for me too. (I solved it then by grabbing together the
characters for
  shutdown -r now 
from all running xterms and pasted them in a root shell. Then never tried
to change runlevels running X)

I'm glad someone else sees this problem.

Is this a bug in:
  xserver-s3
  xbase
  sysvinit
  somewhere else?
