I just tried it. The planetarium part of kstars is slow as lots of the pixels are being pushed across the wire, but the UI is actually nice and fairly snappy. Not quite as good as native on the desktop, but much better than VNC even at 1920. The windows come up natively on the desktop and can be resized large and still it's very snappy. I've got a great big monitor too, 4K os something like that. So give it a try! I think that I'll stick with VNC since it can handle a loss of network connectivity with no issues. The 1920 display is a bit annoying, but not that bad.
