KDE 4 Tip - Quickly Disable Desktop Effects
* January 26, 2009
So, that proprietary 3D graphics driver you installed is now causing you some
problems, so you got rid of it. But there's a problem. Your KDE 4 installation
had those fancy desktop effects enabled, which now aren't working. Instead of a
KDE desktop, you have a nice white screen.
There is an easy keyboard shortcut you can use from within KDE to quickly
toggle the desktop effects on and off if you have a problem with them which
causes KDE to be unusable.
Simply press Alt-Shift-F12.
Note that this only toggles the setting for that session only. If you want to
turn the setting permanently off, you must then go into System Settings >
Desktop > Desktop Effects.

***
Boot into recovery... to the command line.
Type the following (replacing "[yourname]" with your user name, of course):
nano /home/[yourname]/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
Find the this line under the heading "Compositing":
Enabled=true
Change it to:
Enable=false
Then press Ctrl+X. Press Y. Press Enter.
Type:
reboot
And then log into KDE normally.

Would try both variants later today or tomorrow.
