Okay. One other question, though. Is there a way I can "reboot" X without rebooting the whole machine? It would make testing different settings so much less labourous if I didn't have to wait for a whole reboot.

hit control-alt-backspace to kill the X server. if you're in runlevel 5 (the X server starts automatically when your system boots up), it'll automatically restart, rereading its config files.
You can also use "killall -1 gdm-binary" (assuming you're using GDM).
or telinit 3&&telinit 5
