What you want to do is setup an .xsession file in your home directory.
That is not easy and you should learn how to do this! If you do things
wrong your X11 (and KDE) will not start!

Since I use Kubuntu I did not feel the needs of maintaning my own
.xsession, so I can not provide you with an example.

As far as I can remember something like this in an .xsession file could
work:

==== .xsession start =====
xterm & # to have a rescue shell available
xhost + <computer1> <computer2> <computer3> ... # put all your machines
in here
startkde # fire up KDE
==== .xsession end ======

Please read:

man xsession
man xinit
man startx

And every good HowTo on the subject in setting up an .xsession file in
your home directory ;-).

Hope this helps.
