You don't have to kill everything off, you can just hit
control-alt-shift-F1 (through F6, usually) to get to another virtual
console. F7, typically, is the virtual console where X is running, so
you can return to that virtual console to resume using X.
If you really want to kill off everything in the current X session, you
can hit control-alt-backspace. A warning, that keysequence can be
turned off in the X config file, so you might have to use another
virtual console to kill off X manually. Also, if you are using a X
display manager, it might restart X with a login screen if you kill off
the current X session.
