You can use SSH to log into the remote machine and you can run any X11 programme that you want (if you have set the -X flag) but there can only be one window manager for any Xserver which rules out using KDE on the remote machine over an SSH link. It seems that kdm will have remote logins in the future but they aren't implemented yet.
It's not quite true: (1) Start an X-server with a terminal emulator on the local machine. (2) Open an "ssh -X" session to the remote machine from the terminal emulator window. (3) Start kde on the remote machine. The kde session (including the window manager) will use the ssh tunnel then.
That is, run X and KDE on the server, not on the client?
No, X server must run where the mouse and keyboard is. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
