Think I killed X....

[Baruch Chaim Stone]

Howdy, folks. I write you think while booted into run level 3 (lacking X)
as when I tried to start X (as root and regular user) I got an error
saying something along the lines
of "could not initialize kde-init. check your installation" and then it
spit out the following:

waiting for X server to shut down


I have confirmed that libqt-mt.so.3 (which is symlinked to 3.3.3) is there
and even set permissions to 777.

I am not sure at all what is going on as it worked perfect fine before.
Any ideas?
