    Control center -> internet -> desktop sharing -> allow uninvited
    connections. But be sure you protect it with a firewall.

    Not much, desktop sharing *is* vnc, it's just integrated into kde so you
    get to use kded to listen for incoming connections instead of vncserver.
    Apart from that it's pretty much the same as the vnc server for the
    primary desktop with the weird name that I don't recall right at this
    moment
