Any clues, please? I don't know about /, you may have some leftovers in /tmp. For /stand, your listing is correct -- it's a crunched hardlined binary (see the link count in the second column). Also, you can use Cntl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server, or hit Cntl-Alt-F1 to get your console back. Then kill xdm or X and you should be OK.
