Can a KDE desktop be shared by multiple clients (for viewing only). A user group might want to provide a desktop view to remote clients. I was not able to locate a definitive source where it either allowed or disallowed multiple VNC connections.
The shared desktop must be running in a virtual X display (not the physical one that is "attached" to the console). You can, of course, open a VNC viewer window from your console's desktop to the virtual desktop. I have done this, but only as a different user between the physical desktop and the virtual desktop. Otherwise the virtual desktop has trouble starting up (it seems that KDE only allows one login instance per user at a time on the same home directory). -Ti
