23 Can you start anything that isn't KDE-related?
24 Like xclock, xterm,...?
25
26 That way we can check if the problem is SSH/X related or KDE-related.
27
28 You could also try starting a VNC-session to see if that would allow you to
29 start programs.

32 Also, later KDE versions require policykit/consolekit,

34 Consolekit has a service as well that needs to be running.
