I can't even kill X because, stupid me didn't configure the
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace when it was no longer automatically configured.

Right now, I have booted from a Kubuntu live CD so was able to get
into the system to write this.

Is there a way I can fix this without having to do a complete reinstall?
