What distribution are you using?
If it is a RH or Md box set you may be able to recover by doing an update.
You definitely can if you configured your HD where home and root are on
different partitions. If not it would depend on the system usage.
Another approach that you can use on RH or Md is remove KDE from the system
and then reinstall it.
Be careful with these procedures though you may loose certain configuration
settings but I personally have never found that to be a proble.
SuSE I am not sure of but most likely that is possible too.
If it is something else I don't know.
