That key combination put you into virtual console 11. Ctl-F1 would
have put you into the first VC and Ctl-F7 would have put you back into
X. Typically Debian sets up VCs 1-6 as console logins and 7 on up for
graphical (X) logins. If you have more than one user defined on your
system you can do a "Switch User" from KDE's Logout or Leave memu and
you'll be presented with another KDM prompt where the other user can
login. From that user's KDE Ctl-Alt-F7 will put you into your KDE
session and Ctl-Alt-F8 will put you into the other user's KDE.
