No promises on the security of the below setup... but the following
works on getting a remote RedHat distro to work with KDE.
Maybe some settings may help you or modify to suit.
Login as root
type vncserver and put in the password twice
Edit /root/.vnc/xstartup
rem out as follows
#twm &
insert
startkde & (if you put startx then it will autologin as root on the console)
edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
make the last lines as follows...
VNCSERVERS=”1:root”
VNCSERVERARGS[1]=”-geometry 1024x768” (if -localhost here... remove it)
Edit services and turn on vncserver at startup
Set the firewall to allow 5901 TCP on. Set selinux on and firewall on.
edit inittab and set to runlevel 5 (if needed)
Reboot.
Login from client with port 5901 or user:1
Happy to hear from anyone with a more secure way to get the desktop.

Dear list,
I have installed TightVNC and desktop on a Slicehost using Ubuntu 10.4.
I can SSH into the server but I can not get the login through VNC
What I have I failed to setup?
regards,
