Look at the /var/log/messages on both machines and see what kind of error you
may get for NFS. When running the following services: netmount nfsmount portmap
on the nfs client, I haven't had any problems, you may need no_root_squash on
the /etc/exports on the nfs server.

KDE works fine here for me.
