The easiest/fastest way I found to get the system back workable with Kubuntu is:
- Try to log in
- ctrl-alt-f1 to a console when the login hangs
- kill -9 kwin or compiz.real (depending on which you use)
- Alt-F7 back to the GUI
- Use the cashew to add the Konsole Profiles plasmoid to the desktop.
- Use the plasmoid to start a shell and then run systemsettings
- In SystemSettings, disable desktop effects.

I tried only unchecking "Enable direct rendering", as dlanor78 mentioned above, but that did not work for me on Kubuntu 9.04a4 w/nvidia 180.27 (9800GTX+).
