Howdy,

Think of kontact as simply an X-application.  You're wishing to have
it run on your remote machine but display locally.  At least I think
that's what you _really_ want. 

Suppose my previous example didn't work, can `ssh' directly to
`computer-c' as follows.

Suppose you're on `computer-a' and you need to login to `computer-c'
via `computer-b'

First, in one teriminal, do the following:

   computer-a$ ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 computer-b

   #
   # -N - no remote command
   #
   computer-b$ ssh -N -L 8888:localhost:22 computer-c

In your second terminal, you can login directly to `computer-c' as
follows:

   ssh -p 8888 localhost

HTH.
