Hello
I do not believe you can run kde remotely, you can run kde applications,
from the ssh shell
$ xhost (remote system) (this is not secure xauth is more secure)
$ kmail -display system:0&
will display kmail on your system.=20

If you want the entire kde environment you will want to use VNC this is=20
available in the port collection (net/vnc) and at the following link for =
the=20
windows client.
