Yes, KDE 4.3 runs just fine with 256 MiB RAM.

I regularly use my notebook with 256 MiB RAM, and the speed is fine. 

Sure, compositing is switched off, and the desktop search is deactivated. Apart 
from that, I make full use of the KDE workspace and the KDE applications (e.g. 
Marble as desktop background and Kontact with more that a thousand archived 
emails per folder).

For a few months, I had even no swap memory at all (caused by a broken 
distribution upgrade), and KDE was running more or less OK. (I do not remember 
whether that was KDE4 or KDE3, though.)
