Alf,
You could try pressing CTRL-ALT-Backspace. That will kill your KDE session
and bring you back to the login. From there you can shutdown and restart. When
you see a message saying "system will start in x seconds", press ESC key. This
wil bring you the Grub menu, and from there you can select Failsafe mode.
HTH,
Glenn
