So it looks like you switched to Compiz and that isn't working properly.

If you used the Compiz Switcher which is part of compiz-kde, you should have a 
file called .kde/env/kdewm.sh in your home directory. Remove that file and you 
should end up with KWin running again.

If that doesn't work or if you didn't have that file in the first place, create 
that ~/.kde/env/kdewm.sh file and write this into it:
KDEWM=kwin
export KDEWM
