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.
