I've never tried to log out from a keyboard shortcut.  Did you try a key
other than "x" or a modifier other than "alt"?

Can you configure a shortcut to access the "Desktop" menu?  I use
<alt>F1 to access the Applications menu frequently, but I've never
accessed the other menus with a shortcut.

If that's not possible, you can unite the default menus under one "main
menu" and get to it that way (<alt>F1 to bring up the menu, then move
down to the log out item in the Desktop menu).
