I am trying to run KDE 5 in a VNC session and although I get application windows like konsole, kate etc the shell I need for the Start Menus, taskbar, desktop background etc is not present. This is my current ~/.vnc/xstartup file.

I also get a message that kwin_x11 keeps crashing and I should try another shell.
What additional commands are required to get the shell workiing?

#!/bin/sh



xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid grey

export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1

# /etc/X11/Xsession

startkde &

vnc kde5 plasma5 kwin

What I discovered in attempting to do this is that the Plasma DE is much to heavy to run over vnc. When I installed LXDE and used startlxde in the xstartup file, I got a good desktop that ran beautifully over vnc and provided a similar experience to the Plasma DE.
