that's either an X11 or even a kernel bug.

instead of powering down you could try to zap (ctrl+alt+backspace) or switch to
a VT (ctrl+alt+f1) - in case that's enabled on SuSE
but i fear X is entirely locked.

if you've another machine you could start an ssh server on the "broken" one and
try to ssh into it from the working (if it's only X11 and not the kernel, that
will still work)

you _might_ be able to "workaround" your problem by removing the pause button
(i guess you'll need backspace...) via an xkb rule... (either as entry in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or via setxkb)
