Should it be possible to run KDE plasma in a VNC session?

When I try starting it I get the dialog box...

Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL2.  Please check that your
graphic drivers are set up correctly

forget it - these days are sadly gone and even if you get it to work it's unusable since version 5

hence i created a "openbox" vncserver.service to at least have some graphical remote desktop for acting on remote machines when moving the data over VPN is no option

Ed, Harald:

Not an expert on this by a long shot, but I've been using it for the last few weeks on a daily basis since I'm away on travel and has been working pretty good for me.
i am using TigerVNC, and didn't do anything except to add --> exec startkde <-- to the xstartup file in the .vnc directory.

Both server and remote are radeon, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Now the home system is set to use OpenGL, but when I connect to it remotely it shows that it is using XRender as the compositor.  I didn't do anything to make that
change, looks like it is done by TigerVNC somehow.  

Again, I just installed and pretty much just added the "startkde" statement..
