I personally only use VNC to connect to MS-windows computers, and it
simply exports the physical screen, which seems to be what you're after.
 I also use Cygwin's X server on my Windows machines but that's only
suitable for either starting a new login session via XDM or running
single applications through SSH's X11 forwarding, neither of which
appears to be what you want.

The problem is that you appear to want to attach an X client (an
application, in this case KDE) to multiple X servers and X isn't really
set up for that.  VNC, which has it's client/server relationship the
other way around, should be able to provide what you want more easily.

HTH,
Ross

BTW, your mail was horribly mangled.  I suggest you fix that if you want
more replies.
