Dumb question on KDE

If the system is responding to the keybaord you can hit (for example)
Alt-Ctrl-F2 to get a text console and then kill the offending process.

Otherwise if the box is on a LAN, telnet in from another machine and
do it.

Also possibly useful - Ctrl+Alt+Esc turns the cursor into a "Kill" cursor
which will terminate whatever you click on.
