Forcing an escape for an X window session

Gurus,

I have one of those worse case scenarios where I'm locked
out of a system(my own security features!). This system
is currently my Oracle production(which is running fine)
so I don't want to disturb that if possible.

I need to force closure/kill a rouge X windows session
running on my console. The session is showing a grey
screen. Is there a keyboard combination that
anyone is aware of that I can type in at my console to stop this
session ?

I'm running 4.0g if that's relevant.

TIA,
