I've experienced this repeatedly, and it's the one major problem I find with Xubuntu. Also if an update repository freezes in the middle of something (a similiar scenario vs. the web browser) the same thing happens - the whole Xubuntu desktop implementation locks and nothing fixes it except for a hard reboot w/the hardware on/off button. I find no other Linux distro to my liking so far except for Xubuntu - I have tried about twenty so far but this behaviour is really nasty.

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).
