startx is the startup script for the local X server which is not what
you're looking for. What you are probably looking for is startkde, which
will startup kde on the current $DISPLAY defined X server. $DISPLAY
should of course be set to host:0.0

P.S. KDE runs great remote on a LAN, but it uses way too much bandwidth
for a low bandwidth connection. If you're running over the net or dialup
use TightVNC or Xvnc as others have suggested.
