Just to add a data point: I'm running KDE 4.7 on openSUSE 11.4 with messaging, the rekonq browser and a couple of terminals and the system uses 559M of RAM total. I'm also running openLDAP, MySQL and PostgreSQL on this machine. It's not great, but I it should still run just fine on a machine with 512M of RAM and I can imagine that it would be possible to get by with 256M with some optimizing.
