Try the brute force method...
>From within an X session, type CTRL+ALT+F2. This will get you to a console outside the current X session.
(the open session will be at ALT+F7)
Login. Then enter start a new X session.
startx -- :1 (starts a new session w/ the default window manager)
startx /usr/bin/startkde -- :1 (starts a new kde3 session)
startx /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde -- :1 (starts a new kde4 session)
You can switch between the two sessions at ALT+F7 and ALT+F8
The locations of the startkde scripts may vary between distros.
