I'm using this workaround on fedora9:
- the content of file /etc/acpi/actions/power.sh I modified to:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/chvt 1
- so after X stops responding I just press POWER button on desktop machine and it will switch me to working terminal. Then I'm able to stop some process (e.g. when I'm using NetBeans, X will stop responding during debugging, I kill java process), then press alt+F7 and X will be responding again :)
