If by 'kicker', you mean the thing that is at the bottom of the KDE screen (or left, or right or top), that can launch applications, shutdown your system, contains 4 "windows", has the date/time, then, yes, KDE under VNC under Suse Linux 8 under z/VM does exist. Even has the icons on the desktop for both volumes I had mounted (root and /usr).
When I brought up VNC, it didn't take much resources. However, once KDE was started, now that took the resources. Even after I brought KDE down. Apparently, as said by other, there is another process or processes that were still running.
I took that copy of Linux down and back up and it is sitting at the normal .03% utilitzation.

I use VNC all the time on my PC based X desktop. I do not see the high idle time. But there may be one or two processes started by KDE that are not completely happy with VNC. VNC does lack certain extensions that KDE wants.
When I played with it a while ago, I found no kicker (that panel launcher thing along the bottom, equivalent to OS?2's Launchpad).
