I believe what your looking for is typing this in a terminal from
another linux box,,,, or windows through putty

ssh username at 192.168.1.100     (change the ip and username to the
laptops info)

type your password

then issue the command

top

this will show you all processes in memory. your looking to press k
which will kill a "pid"  look for the # of the pid which exceeds say
70-80, and kill it. (press k, then the pid#, then enter.  itll probably
be konqueror.

man top  in a terminal for more info on that command.
