KDE Fails to start

I have a remote server running CentOS 4.3 (Bluequartz) 32bit on:

AMD AthlonXP 1800+
1GB Ram
40GB HDD
100MBps Internet

--

I have a package installer, yum, which I installed KDE with using the command "yum groupinstall kde". It installed fine and told me everything works. When I try (in SSH) to start kde it fails.
