Run SSH server on the machine with "KDE4 + translations setup" and connect to that using "ssh -X <kde4_user>@<kde4_machine_ip>". Once logged in you can type the command for your app (konqueror, kcontrol etc) and see it on your own desktop. I simply love "ssh -X". It's the power of X window system that we can't see in M$ Windows. (Windows has rdesktop which is almost similar to vnc, but I haven't seen ssh -X like feature in Windows yet. Correct/Update me if I am wrong).

But, the preferred way is to create a separate user account (say kde4) and setup KDE4 for only this account so that the stability of the system is not disturbed on your regular user accounts. KDE has both system level and user level folder structure (can be configured by setting KDE_DIR) using which one can install KDE4 in the user level only. In that case, by logging in to the kde4 user, you can get konqueror 4 running when you type konqueror (user level PATH settings should be configured to take precedence over the system level PATH settings). Along with executables and libraries, mo files can also be stored in the user level locale directory so that kde4 translations do not conflict with kde3 translations. I had once tried KDE4 (about 4 months back, it was hardly stable ;) using this separate user account approach and could preview konqueror, new run dialog etc.

3.x
instead of from kde 4.0. We use xephyr within kde3 to view kde4
desktop (so that the carshes are minimized). The trick is in being able to use xephyr remotely. Prasad can probably
throw some more light on this or fix it and later throw some light on it :-). He will pretty soon figure out how we
can do that. He too once touched upon the idea of vnc.. so he is
figuring out these things.. let us see how it emerges.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>OK, that's great. Let's hope KDE4 becomes stable very soon so that we can start using it for our regular day to day work. <br>
