Seems like a strange problem. What I would check is whether there are 
processes that are not dying which are preventing X from shutting down. 
If you recreate the problem, then ctrl+alt+f1 and log in as root, do a 
"ps aux | grep <username>" to see what processes (if any) are still 
hanging out there.
