Sure, through a script you perform the following pseudo commands:
1) ssh into the host machine
2) su - to root
3) shutdown runlevel 5 with an init 3 command
4) exit root
5) start a vncserver
note: you will need to change the defaults
in .vnc startup to start kde instead of twm.
6) use vncviewer over ssh to access the vncserver:
vncserver -via hostname hostname:1
The host machine will have a console login showing, and the remote
machine
will have an active desktop running over ssh. sweet.
