Yes. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, not Del. I have noted, and mentioned previously, that if you boot to a terminal, runlevel 3, then 'startx' to start up the GUI, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is enabled.

I used it numerous times the first couple of weeks when I was configuring and shaking down F12, and wanted to quit X, and drop back to the terminal I initially booted into.
