Hmmm... I am not sure. Long time ago I had a similar problem and that 
didn't stop Alt-F2 from working. He should though be able to start a new 
terminal login from his root session and there login as himself and 
execute the commands to get the bars back. Could he have changed the 
screen resolution and thus the bars disappeared out of sight?
