You could ctrl-alt-f<x> [where <x> is wherever $DIST places your text
terminals] and login to text-console, then hunt the pid out before killing
it. This would keep your X session in one piece... not the most delectable
ways of getting round this though.

I don't know KDE at all - is there anyway you can tell it to trap keys for
certain applications? Or alternatively it might be possible to move the
window around the screen, thus bringing its title bar into focus. e.g., in
Windowmaker holding down <ALT> and dragging the window with the left mouse
button will move it without need for titlebar (very useful at times).

You need to see if there's any combos like that that KDE will capture above
the client window ...
