Create an additional script "stopkde" by copy and paste the following lines 
into a bash shell. 

cat >/opt/kde3/bin/stopkde
for i in `ps -s | egrep -i '(^k|dcopserver|xwin|ipc-daemon2)' | cut -c 4-7`; 
do kill -15 $i; sleep 2; done

than press STRG-D to close the cat command 

Now you can run 
$ stopkde 

to stopping kde processes. If there are not all kde related processes killed 
(you can run ps -s before and after starting kde) you may add some process to 
stopkde.
