For me, Alt+F2 brought up a little GUI single-line command widget. Then 
I typed 'r' and it restarted gnome. Whether the 'r' would have worked in 
a terminal, I don't know. I'll try it if gnome hangs again, in the 
future. If not, that I guess would mean that Alt+F2 would be analogous 
to typing some command, then the 'r' would be the switch (if they even 
call it that in linux) that restarts gnome.
