It seems that X does not switch properly back to console video mode (whatever name it has). I switched then to twm and ran into the same problem. Of course, this could have been caused by blackbox from the run before.

Show us /var/log/Xorg.0.log with the hanging X (just go to another alpha
console or login remotely);

check the proc hierarchy in your system, mine is like this:

$ ps axl | fgrep 2194
 1001  2194  2176   0  47  0  10844   1980 wait   I+    v0    0:00,01 xinit /ho
    0  2195  2194   0  45  0 322240 312608 select S     v0    3:53,80 X -nolist
 1001  2198  2194   0  76  0   9896   1740 wait   I     v0    0:00,05 /bin/sh /
$ ps axl | fgrep 2195
    0  2195  2194   0  45  0 322240 312608 select S     v0    3:54,22 X -nolist
$ ps axl | fgrep 2198
 1001  2198  2194   0  76  0   9896   1740 wait   I     v0    0:00,05 /bin/sh /
 1001  2257  2198   0  44  0   9752   1260 nanslp S     v0    0:00,29 kwrapper 
$ ps ax | fgrep 2198
 2198  v0  I      0:00,05 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/startkde

i.e. xinit (2194) launches X (2195) and a shell (2198) for startkde;
which process does not terminate for you;
