Apologies, I didn't read your mail properly.
It sounds like you have two screens on computer A and that B is a Kubuntu 
machine. So you have X client/servers all over the place.

Have you tried, on B from A, via ssh-X:
DISPLAY=hostnameofB:1; export DISPLAY

The :1 (I think) means your other display.

Then try running simple stuff like xterm just to see what gives. My point was 
that Kubuntu Desktop is a bear to run across ssh like this, I have not got it 
right and I spent many hours.

Sorry for the noise.
