First, install kde - I recommend the latest 3.2 from kde.org:

	host$ ssh root@192.168.1.40
	colinux# echo "deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.2/Debian stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
	colinux# apt-get update
	colinux# apt-get install kde xbase-clients

The xbase-clients bit is important for xauth. Now, use X11 forwarding over SSH:

	host$ export DISPLAY=:0.0
	host$ ssh -X 192.168.1.40
	colinux$ startkde

Alternatively, you can install the kdm package, edit the Xservers file
to comment out the local execution of a display and Xaccess file to
permit access from anywhere ("*"), then run kdm. This will allow you to
pull up a XDMCP queried session from your host's X server.

Hope this helps.

Mine would never get past where it was Initializing System (or something
such) on the K splash screen. I assuemd it had something to do with sound so
I just let it lay. Should I revisit?

Try sshing in and killing off the "arts" daemon. I'll give it a go here
in a bit myself on a colinux image to help walk through it.

There is currently a scheduling issue in coLinux. CPU-hungry processes 
somehow get prioritized. KDE's artsd is one example. However, I noticed 
that it has a watchdog which kills it if it takes too much CPU.
