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.

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