Of course this shouldn't happen, unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it.
However, to save you from rebooting in the future, have you tried pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Esc (the cursor will change into a cross with which you should be
able to click on a window to force it to close) or if that doesn't work
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (which will kill the xserver and in the process all your
running programs, after which the xserver will be restarted, bringing you
back to the login screen - all unsaved data will be lost, of course).

Cheers,
