I finally found a solution to:

If you remember, I was searching for some way to display the same X 
session the teacher was using to all pupils' screen. I found one 
solution. These are the steps:

1. Install "kdenetwork3-vnc" (for the clients) and "tightvnc" (for the 
server) packages.
2. Start the VNC server: vncserver :1. You'll be asked for two 
passwords. Read/Write (for the teacher) and Read Only (for the pupils). 
It will automatically create ~/.vnc folder.
3. Stop server: vncserver -kill :1
4. Modify ~/.vnc/xstartup, leaving in this file only "startkde &".
5. Start again the VNC server: vncserver :1
6. Start teacher's client: kdrc localhost:1 , with the first password to 
be able to control the desktop. It will open a NEW desktop where the 
teacher will be able to demonstrate things to his/her pupils.
7. Start the pupil's client: kdrc ip_teacher:1 , with the second 
password to only be able to "watch" what's happening.
8. Stop the server: vncserver -kill :1

Hope it helps, Pau.
