Well if you are planning on using KDM as your login prompt and want to get the 
remote login prompt not just run a remote application.

1. Open up your kdmrc file located in '/usr/kde/<YOUR KDE VERSION 
HERE>/share/config/kdm/'. If you have only one kde installation you can 
emacs, nano or vi /usr/kde/*/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

2. Look for this section: [Xdmcp] ( it's somewhere in the end of the config 
file )

3. Set 'Enable' to 'True':  Enable=true

That's it, you should be able to see the box in any remote login screen on the 
network.
