Purely KDE for the moment, desktop wise it would be the same for each user.

I'd rather not have to make the user log in via SSH and invoke a vnc
each, or even have vnc listening on X number of ports for different
users.

What I'd like to happen is users VNC into the box on a particular
port, and be greeted with a Login screen to KDE (kdm).

The guide I've been roughly following is at
http://oxo.rucus.net/docs/Terminal-Vnc-HOWTO, to give you an idea of
what I was aiming for.
