<CTRL>+<ALT>+<backspace> will kill the X server - it should restart itself
automagically.  You can also do, depending on your distro, something like
/etc/init.d/xdm stop and then /etc/init.d/xdm start (as root on a
console).

a simple reboot will also have the desired effect, but isn't really
necessary.
