This problem occurred again. This time I was using an external monitor.
First the mouse pointer started to behave abnormally: it was slow to
move, on the external monitor it was randomly changing shape, and on
the laptop screen it was invisible. When I wanted to quit the X server,
the image was showing the root window and was no longer updated.
I could ssh the machine and saw that the Xorg process was no longer
running (but the screens were still showing the root window of Xorg).
I found no other solution than rebooting the machine.
