  I replied to a message like this before, and I don't know if it helped 
then, or if this will help now, but I've found that running the VNC server in 
8 bit color cause KDE to crash.  (KDE is fine on a real 8 bit display, it was 
only under VNC.)  The splash screen would crash, kicker would usually start, 
but eventually even that would die. Just setting the VNC server to a depth of 
16 bits let everything start working normally.  You can still use vncviewer 
on an 8 bit display and all will be ok, but the vncserver needed to be 
started with 16 bit color.  Hope that helps -- Dan
