How do I get to a terminal when my X is frozen? I'll try that next time

I believe what your looking for is typing this in a terminal from
another linux box,,,, or windows through putty

ssh username@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (change the ip and username to the
laptops info)

type your password

then issue the command

top

this will show you all processes in memory. your looking to press k
which will kill a "pid" look for the # of the pid which exceeds say
70-80, and kill it. (press k, then the pid#, then enter. itll probably
be konqueror.

man top in a terminal for more info on that command.

Except I don't have another Linux box or a Windows machine. (Yet)
