Just like we had said, above. Config inetd to start vncserver. kdmrc set to xdmcp, with the default port 177.

At first, I left the vncserver's xstartup file as stock. When that didn't work, I tried replacing startx with startkde, kdm, and xdm. Nothing worked.

But, as previously mentioned, I did manage to rob my local screen of the KDM login. That was just lovely. After I restored all the files back to their original state - from backup copies, no less - my KDM login screen is different. It's quite a bit less attractive now. I guess whatever theme/skin it had been using somehow got changed. Ain't that skippy. And I KNOW that I didn't mess with any theming. *sigh*

So... Unless someone has an actual, tested and verified method... I guess I'll just stick to having the vncserver autostart with a root user. It's good enough for administration purposes.
