Terminal.app is acting up. (Can't alt-tab to it, just get a beachball.) So I go to kill it in the dock. That doesn't work, so my next thought is "Hey, I'll just switch to a term and "killall Terminal"".

right. Because typing in a term doesn't require a working terminal... of course.

(Hey, it finally force quit. yay.)

Except that my way of starting X usually ends up being "Open a terminal and type "startx"". I'm sure I could find a way to open X without that somewhere, but I don't know where off the top of my head.
