You can reset the settings by running "kpersoanlizer". Another way would be to select console login from the kdm menu, log in to the system and then run "rm -rf .kde*". That'll get rid of any KDE settings you have. Just be sure it's exactly what you wanna do if you are ging to use "rm -rf" coz there is no going back. To save the old directory without deleting it (without using "rm -rf"), you can do "mv .kde .kde-old" and "mv .kderc .kderc_old". type "startx" and you should have the dialogue to select your kde settings when KDE begins loading up.
