Changing from Gnome to KDE on Ubuntu Desktop

I've been working with the GNOME Ubuntu Desktop version for a while, but recently I've been trying to access an Ubuntu PC from a remote Windows machine. On a previous post I explained how to use the X11vnc package to connect to an Ubuntu machine from a remote PC because there were some problems with the GNOME desktop and the vncserver. Now I'm having some problems with the Ubuntu 9.10 GNOME version because if I disconnect the monitor from the PC, the maximum resolution I can use from my remote Windows PC is 800x600, and frankly it's very annoying! So now I'm going to try installing the KDE desktop manager on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, and see if I can use the tightvnc server (www.tightvnc.com) to connect to it from my Windows main PC. I'll keep you updated about this...
