This has puzzled me for a while now. If I need to do something on a remote host that is something more than what I want to do over ssh (something that requires 4-5 windows or apps or configuring the actual remote desktop) I use vncserver/vncviewer. If I need a kde4 app and the remote host is opensuse, then there is no problem at all running the app. If the remote host is arch, then I am kind of screwed because there is some setting causing kde4 (which I understand uses native 24bit color) to look terrible. The vncserver setting on both suse and arch are identical. The start script I use for vncserver is:
Do both vncservers have the RENDER extension? You can find out by running 'xdpyinfo | grep RENDER' in a terminal inside the vnc session. If the vncserver doesn't support the RENDER extension, anything qt4 based is going to look bad. -- Byron Clark
