What happens if you :

* add the DontZap option to your xorg.conf :

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

* reboot normally, log on to GNOME

* try "init 3" again

* use CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill Xorg ?

Several of my programs decided to hang instead of exiting properly
this morning, killing them worked (but is no solution). I'm wondering
if you're not seeing the same problem in different form.
