RE: Having XP and KDE desktops togather

 The KDE Desktop occupies whole of XP screen and remains in 
 foreground, can not be moved and can not be iconized. So 
 Windows becomes practically inaccessible until I kill KDE Desktop.
 
 Any suggestions to make both desktops co-exist?

I am seeing slightly different behaviour to you if I use -multiwindow
The various components of KDE behave independantly which makes
them difficult to work with. The solution for me was to use
-nodecoration (thanks Alexander) instead of -multiwindow

 I want to use ssh to connect to a linux system and then be able to use

 KDE to access my applications. So far using ssh -X 192.168.1.13 and 
 executing startkde after I login works, to an extent.
 Both the dektop and the kicker are launched, but they are launched 
 independantly. I can move the kicker around to make it visible and 
 accessible and then use the menus to get into openoffice, but my real 
 aim is to wean my wife away from M$ toys and get her using ooo, there 
 is no way that she will be happy with having to search for the kicker.
 
 Is there some option to ssh that will recifty this situation?

Most likely you're starting XWin in multiwindow mode where every window
from X11 is mapped to a Windows window. If you replace the -multiwindow
with -nodecoration then you get a single window for the whole remote
session. Or you could create a link which directly starts openoffice
without the KDE desktop

ssh -Yf 192.168.1.13 soffice

BTW: you should use ssh -Y instead of ssh -X because -X does only enable
untrusted X11 connections where some features are not working.
