It depends on how you started it.  If you started X using kdm (kde
display manager) or gdm (gnome display manager) which I will assume
then you use that to stop it.  Use one of the below in that case.

  /etc/init.d/kdm stop
or
  /etc/init.d/gdm stop
or
  /etc/init.d/xdm stop

I have no idea what the .RUN package you are talking about is.
