You can run you KDE apps from your downstairs PC fairly easily w/o
having to use a GUI login. If you are networked, simply telnet to your
downstairs PC in an xterm. Once logged in, set your display to your
upstairs PC:
in C-shell:
$ setenv DISPLAY <upstairsPC-IPorName>:0
Now you can run any app from that term and display it on your upstairs
machine.
Hope this helps.
