I've no problem calling kde (or any X) applications via SSH; but kde ones 
sometime doesn't show up correctly client side (for example kopete starts -and 
i can see the process server side- but I can't see contact list on the client 
and I have to show it up via dbus) or upon closing they leaves lots of 
processes active behind (even closing ssh console from which they were 
started) like knotify, dbus-daemon etc
So I was wondering if there is "something special" to do to correctly start a 
KDE app
I'll run some more test to find patterns or error cases.
Thanks for your help
