Probably a reboot will fix that.

Alternatively, in the KDE process monitor (or in konsole run "ps -aux"
and) look for processes that shouldn't be running, like adept.  Kill
them.  If you're in konsole "sudo kill -9 123344" will kill process
12344, so look for the process ID (PID) you want to kill and use that
number instead.
