But if you want kde to take over the x-session as if you were running it locally, I know its easy: 0. use ssh rather than telnet. 1. start x, or log in to x, with no window manager. try xinit rather than startx or login to a "fail-safe session". 2. do ssh -c blowfish -X <remote.host> the "-C" option might prove faster, depending on the connection/cpu:s. 3. try startkde or whatever the kde init script is called. That should give you the same kde behaviour as if were locally logged in to remote.host (with the possible exception of different screen resolution, fonts available to the X-server, different keyboards/mice etc). Perhaps, it is not what you wanted though. /Hans Ekbrand
