[kde-linux] K Menu->Log Out->Restart through command-line?

[James Loughner]

To stop or start a GUI session:
Go to a terminal normally ctrl-alt-F1 will do
log on as root
type init 3
this normally will shutdown the GUI
type init 5
this will restart the GUI
go back to the terminal ctrl-alt-F1
Log out as root
type exit

I said normally above since I don't know what distro and though most
will follow the init level rules there is no  absolute....
