Well, if I want to do a full login session on another host, I either
configure it in gdm or use Terminal Server Client.

However, I often prefer just to run individual applications. I do:
ssh -CX user at host progname

for example:
ssh -CX matt at newz synaptic

If you have your ssh keys set up right, you can even create icons on
your desktop for remote applications.

Except for the GDM part, I don't expect any of that to differ between
KDE/Gnome.
