Excuse me if I'm out to lunch here, only read bits of the thread.  By 
remote login I assume you just mean logging in via xdmcp to get a 
"desktop" ... why not run startkde.

If that's the case I expect like someone (Robert?) said you can use ssh:

   ssh -X somehost -f /usr/bin/startkde # should do it

If that's not what you want (it would likely take over your local 
desktop) perhaps use VNC?
