KDE 4 - Reset to Default?

I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 and just installed KDE 4. Unfortunately, I had added some desktop effects that render KDE 4 unusable (exploding windows or something like that turned my screen black, and won't turn back). Is there a way to restore KDE 4's default settings from outside of KDE 4?

Thanks,
Dan

i think you should try it on the terminal/shell on the root account.

Hi.

On suse10.3 to reset KDE4 i go to a console window outside X (i.e CTRL+ALT+F2) , then

rm -rf /home/[yourusername]/.kde4

i.e:-

rm -rf /home/morgan/.kde4

Then restart X
