Hello Chris,

Wait, wait. dont upset Chris.
it is good idea, but dont stick on it.

you care about a sequence of X server and KNOPPIX.
I dont know topologilinux, but at least KNOPPIX retry many times
if it can not connect X.
so I think it does not matter which runs first, X server or KDE.
and I dont know VNC stuff, but it is also easy to add "retry" function to VNC viewer.
I think your solution is not wrong, but please keep it in your mind that
there is more than one way to do it.

and for resolution problem, it is easy to pass any value to coLinux as a 
kernel parameter.
I mean, if you run coLinux with <bootparam>res=640x480</bootparam>,
you can see it from inside of coLinux with $ set.
so it is easy to make your virtual screen fit to real screen resolution.
