Something like this suggestion by Peter or even hitting 
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace TWICE would also do it because then all the current 
tools with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace in their menues would still work.  To send 
that sequence to the VM from a VMM such as virtmanager you would just 
issue the sequence twice.  And that way, you don't need to have 
thousands of organizations modifying their xorg.conf for various 
installations, modifying their training, etc.  And Emacs users won't 
"accidentally" hit the key sequence necessary to kill X.
