Restarting X server within KDE?

[David Gerard]

Many years ago, I ran fvwm2 under Solaris. It actually had a menu option
set up whereby you could restart the X server without all your X clients
dying.

I really wanted this the other week when KDE went weird on me and the mouse
pointer disappeared. (After only two months! With this sort of
unreliability, open source will never be ready for Joe Consumer.)

How does one restart the X server without it killing all the clients?
