Try logging in to KDE, press Alt+F2 or K Menu -> Run command and type 
in "kwin --replace". KWin, the KDE Window Manager, might have crashed and 
didn't restart.

Btw, logging into GNOME to check wouldn't matter. GNOME and KDE use different 
window managers, so they have nothing to do with each other.
