How do you kill a KDE session if you have mis-configured your video
settings and can't see the desktop after it loads? Fortunately I was
able to telnet in and shutdown properly. However I was curious how to
get out of this situation if telnet wasn't an option. Does anybody know?

Ctrl + Alt + Fn should always give you another virtual terminal.
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace would kill the X session.

Try ctrl-alt-backspace at the console (this closes X)
