While playing an audio in totem, the mate desktop crashed.
I couldn't switch to a console like I use to be able to do with
ctrl-alt-F{n} - seems that is gone is from CentOS.
I couldn't open a terminal by right clicking on the desktop.
I was able to open a folder, navigate to /usr/bin and open
gnome-terminal that way and issue the shutdown command.
Since switching to virtual consoles no longer seems to work, what is the
proper way to deal with rebooting a system when the window manager with
all its menus crashes?
CentOS 7

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's not a CentOS issue. I've just switched ctrl-alt-F4 and back whilst running 7.2.1511 (updated last night). I'm running gnome though, so it could be a mate problem.

Just tried and it works on my laptop. Must be the Apple Pro keyboard I have on my desktop - really nice keyboard to type on, but it must not map that the same way.
