Ctrl+Alt+Backspace: Restart the GUI.

We have this key combination in Linux that will restart the GUI - CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
Recently this key combination has been removed in Arch so I needed to reactivate it:
After typing that in the terminal you can restart the GUI when it hangs ..or whatever...by hitting <CTRL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE>
If you want it to stick; you can add the above command to the key combination in your DE settings under "Keyboard".
