Oh please. When was the last time X wedged so the keyboard
survived?
Your imaginary sysadmins have to powercycle anyway.

There's a bug with the Intel driver when DE for KWin is enabled such
that the system eventually uses all of its available file handles and
everything locks up with the notification of "too many open files".
Nothing can be run since that is requires a file to be opened.
Ctrl+Alt+Bksp is the only way I've found that "fixes" the problem
without a reboot (other than not using DE, which is...annoying). Yes
there is a bug open against it:
<
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486695>. Anything else
that causes similar things to happen either need a reboot without
Ctrl+Alt+Bksp.
