Looking to SuSE desktop from XP:
Enable the Desktop Sharing in KDE Control Center/Internet&Network. Then use tightvnc client for XP to connect to it.
XP on SuSE - if this is a Pro version, you can enable remote help, or whatever it is called, and then use krdc from your SuSE box. If this does not work, start tightvnc server on the XP machine, and use some vnc client from the SuSE box to connect.
Note, that the vnc solution is not secure, and while it is for home use, it's OK. But if you want to use it over a public network, better approach will be to tunnel the connection over an ssh.

Don't forget that the dosutils directory on most SUSE install CDs/DVDs contain many useful Windows programs such as putty.exe and tightvnc.exe (v1.2.9) among others. Stan
