You should be able to log in remotely to shut down your system. Perhaps try different versions of Gaim, X, and whatever your web browser is to see if that makes the problem go away. You might also consider submitting a bug report to the XFree86 project, but if you do be aware that they probably have bug reporting procedures just like any other open source project.
