There are several ways to do this. You can use the builtin KDE Remote Desktop
application. This is a framebuffer application which allows you to remotely
control the _current_ desktop of the remote PC.
My preference is to start a new remote session. There is an option in Yast
(Suse 9.2) to "Allow remote graphical login". I have noted somewhere which
config files this actually changes. Once you do that, from the command line
of the remote PC you can do
X -query remotepc
and you should get the greeter for the remote PC. If you tell a little more
about your setup and what you are trying to do, I may be able to give you
more details.
