For me what ended up being an important difference is that Remote Desktop is a screen share in KDE (meaning it only works if you’re already logged on, everyone sees what you are doing and the remote view does not adapt to the monitor you’re connecting with). In Gnome it is a real private remote session with virtual monitors.
I am told something like NoMachine will solve this on KDE but I haven’t set that up yet.
The KDE team is also working on solving this with their new login manager being a part of the puzzle, but it will take a while until it all works.
