You may be able to edit your ~/.kde/share/config/kpanelrc file, and
change 'Position=bottom' to 'Position=right' in the [kpanel] section
of the remote machine. The 'Start' button is part of the Kpanel. By
default, it is placed at the bottom. This should move it along the
right side of the Desktop, and make to available to the mouse at the
next session.
If that works, make sure you 'save settings' when you log out of
KDE.
As an alternative, you might run 'xvidtune' on the remote system,
and try to make the remote display smaller. In KDE, do:
<ALT><F2> and then xvidtune.
