KDE apps over SSH crashes X-server

[alet_roux]

I have a gentoo amd64 box at home, to which I would like to SSH from school (using Hummingbird Exceed as an X-server on Windows). Try as I might, I cannot get KDE apps to run in this way (I've tried Kile, Kate, Konsole). I know that the X-server works, because I have managed to run scilab and xclock in this way.

Is there anything else that I could do (bar running a full KDE session)?

I'll be grateful for any advice, tips etc.

Kind regards

Alet

PS. I've also downloaded XliveCD, and will burn it onto a CD tonight, to have a different X-server to test with.
