Linus you could start with the simple "My Xserver has hung in a tight loop with signals blocked", now I wont have to reboot case. I've seen X do exactly that before now. Normally trying to clean up from an out of memory or a sigsegv
Your daemon hanging around for a kill case doesnt work because there is a fundamental race between telling the card and the daemon about a state change in the video programming.
Its quite obvious that you are intelligent enough to realise this, so I can only assume you are being stubborn because you've forgotten how to be wrong about something.
