Also, if you load the xrandr system tray applet in kde, you can change 
resolutions to what ever your client computer can support, on the fly, without 
stopping and restarting startkde.

I just got thru playing with this - neat! One warning though: I would stop kde 
(rcxdm stop) as root if it is running, but then log out and re-login as a user 
before startkde. Running a desktop as root is generally a bad idea. It took me 
awhile staring at the desktop, wondering why I didn't see the changes I had 
managed to make, till I realized that I was logged in as root.
