Does your system automatically start X when you boot, if it does then you need to edit the Xfree config file to start kde by default, if not, then its as simple as running 'startx kde' after you log in.

Kind of a newbie on linux..

I've installed vnc on my computer.. and it's running on a second display like "snoopy:1" and now I wonder.. In the startup-script.. what should i write so KDE will be handle my desktop envoirment instead of the basic twm (or what it's called)

someone that know what I should do? what i should write?

like "exec startkde" or something?

Correct me if I'm wrong: I think you're talking
about the VNC server side.

I recall what you're seeing from the time when KDE
didn't support the VNC protocol by itself:
When you make a connection to the server
a completely new X session is started. If that's explicitely
what you want then I'm afraid I cannot help you. I never
got as far as to optimize / configure the VNC server setup.
Maybe it's enough to call startkde from the proper configuration
script as djtrippin has pointed out. Maybe you also have to
set QTDIR and KDEDIR, but that's just guessing.

But do you know about KDE's "Desktop Sharing" feature?
You can connect to an already running KDE session
(which is great for giving support, for example, because
a colleague having a problem can invite you to his
session and show you the problem first hand).
It's in the KDE Control Center under
"Internet & Network" -> "Desktop Sharing"

BTW: On the VNC client side KDE offers "krdc", but as the
"Desktop Sharing" uses the regular VNC protocol it
should work with any client. I tried "vncviewer" and
it works alright.
