What happens when you connect from a remote shell (try ssh with X
forwarding to avoid xauth dirty work) and run programs from the shell?

* simple X programs?

* KDE programs (kedit etc.)

* kpanel, or whatever problematic component?

* startkde ?


Also: where does the output of KDE programs go? It is redirected through
sockets, which makes it a bit difficult to follow.

BTW: XFree is also available on windows (as part of cygwin:
http://cygwin.com , http://xfree.cygwin.com )

Maybe it can help with testing.

(Actually, in such "multi mode" a complete desktop is quite inconvinient.
A simple shell login can be much faster and take less screen real-estate.)
