Launching kde remotely

Normally I install and use cygwin-x. From the shell I “startx” and in the shell that opens I enter xhost +
If DISPLAY is properly exported with the correct IP of the client then this generally works for most systems (connecting to Solaris and AIX) but I could not get the Centos remote desktop up via startkde & to finish loading properly so I installed vncviewer on my desktop instead. I would like to know why the desktop hangs, if you are passing and you know then please share! The VNC works in both the browser and via the client app, providing a password is set in the vnc server “Remote Desktop” and a vnc server is started. Lots of info on the web and no point in rewriting.

It’s all pretty grotty stuff really.
