Ok, here's a mini-howto on running the khtml regression tests:

Prerequisites: KDE HEAD compiles and runs.

1. From within kdelibs/khtml, issue

 make testregression

2. If necessary, update regression testsuite

 cd <testsuite-prefix>/khtmltests/regression
 cvs up

3. Run the regression tests (using the X-server you're currently running 
under, no Xvfb/Xnest hackery) with

 <prefix-to-kde-cvs-build-dir>/kdelibs/khtml/testregression 
<testsuite-prefix>/khtmltests/regression | tee <regression-logfile>

This will write errors to stderr, and the passed/failed messages into 
<regression-logfile>. The html-output is put under 
<testsuite-prefix>/khtmltests/regression/output by default.

That's it. The -o option comes in handy for directing the regression test 
output into another directly. That way you can compare the results of two 
test runs.
