This will get you a bigger and prettier window to control,  but it won't
get you the "local" display.

>   you need to go into the linux account that you are trying to log into and change the xstartup 
> script. change "xdm" to "startkde". if you have a user named "bill" then you can find it in 
> /home/bill/.vnc/xstartup.
>   to restart the vncserver (without rebooting) do a cntl+esc, find vnc and kill it. go to 
> /tmp/X11-unix/ and delete "X1". go into a terminal and type: vncserver (optionally you can type 
> "vncserver -geometry 1024x768" if you want to tell it what size you want on the client). now go to 
> your windows box and start your client. you should get a kde gui now.
