Hi Brian,

I got this to work using XWin32 ( using Enlightenment ).

Set XWin32 to use a single window.
I connected with /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Once connected, I typed 'enlightenment &' ( without the '' )
You would run 'kde &' ( again, without the '' ) .. ( at least that's 
what I think you would do, I don't use KDE )

I now have Enlightenment running on Win2000.

XWin32 can be found here:

http://www.starnet.com/

The software costs around $250.00 USD. There is a 30 day demo if you 
want to try it out.

Hope that helps,
Thanatos
