You could use VNC, but in my experience that just opens up another X display where you login separately using kdm/gdm/xdm or whatever. I suggest you use KDE's desktop sharing (krfb, in the menu under "System", part of the "kdenetwork" package, tested on 3.4.1). Does what you want. -- Kilian Hagemann
