Occasionally the desktop hangs, in which case I usually can goto tty1 and `sudo shutdown -whatever now`. Unfortunately this does not seem to cause Emacs to shut down as cleanly as I'd like: I'd like Emacs to (e.g.) save any unsaved buffers and save its emacs-desktop, but that doesn't seem to get done. (Am I missing something?)

Assuming that your Emacs is running a server, you can connect to it
with emacs-client and then execute (kill-emacs).
