KDE at 1280x1024 is my regular window environment but sometimes I have

Is there a way to ssh from the laptop into my regular computer and lower
the screen resolution of KDE to 1024x768?

This will allow me to use vnc to work on the laptop without scroll bars
and other complications.
If you're trying to connect to an existing session, then XRandR is probably
the best solution (either using krandrtray or xrandr from the command-line).
I'm not sure how well this works for a VNC connection.

Another option is to run a separate VNC session at your desired resolution,
either using vncserver as required or using (x)inetd to start VNC.
