I think a solution well suited for KDE is a thin client setup.
This way you don't need remote desktop administation, as all desktops run 
on the same server machine.

Fortunately für Unix developers they are not limited to one scripting 
language.
There are several other possibilites with good to excellent GUI bindings, 
such as Perl, Python and Tcl.

Under Windows developers are more or less restricted to VB if they don't 
want to use a compiled language fpr applicatio development.

The new KDevelop (Gideon) is largely based on plugins, making it usable 
for almost any language as long as someone writes a proper plugin.

Are there any applications that are really developed for a particular

The one you usually see is Konq.
See an "interview" with him from the "poeple behind KDE" series 
http://www.kde.org/people/konqi.html

There is also a female dragon, called Katie.
See http://women.kde.org/

Plush Konqys are often available on Linux shows.

Cheers,
Kevin
