It makes a lot of sense.
If you only use the machine remote there is no need to
run a FULL blown KDE on a screen that is turned of...
What he wants is the Linux version of terminal server,
and VNC is a great way to do it...

That depends on the the effects the latenca has on the program.
Some programs work great this way, some don't! Additionally,
with remote vnc you can use KDE over small throughput lines.

SuSE is prepared for this option...
In Yast->system->/etc/sysconfig editor
Search for DisplayManager section
Set the option there to the following values:
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"
DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="yes" (If allow root)
DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="no" (don't start local x-win)
KDM_SHUTDOWN="auto" "Who is allowed to shutdown)
DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="no"
Then you need to setup VNC to work off Xinet.d, which SuSE has
also prepared for you....
Open a Unix shell and edit the file: /etc/xinetd.d/vnc
in the section ´service vnc11ˇ change the ´server_argsˇ to the
following:
server_args = :42 -inetd -once -query local host -desktop Westrick_GmbH -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16
On the disable line change ´yesˇ to ´noˇ, execute the following line in
a root shell:
/etc/init.d/xinetd reload.
Note: Westrick_GmbH cannot contian Spaces..., and is the name of your
host...
Good Luck
