DR,

	Yes, I've tried nx (I'll try it again to see if it solves the KDE4 problem). 
The reason that I've "tried it", but don't currently "use" it was that it 
offered no better performance than vncserver/vncviewer (poorer in some cases) 
and the certificate setup + a lingering bug (at least in the suse package) 
made it take longer to set it up on each host.

	Generally, I just use icewm or openbox across remote desktop connections, but 
I have a couple of boxes that shouldn't have a problem pushing several full 
kde4 sessions at once and that's what prompted the attempt to use kde4 via the 
remote connection. I'll give it another go and report back. Thanks.
