I think the relevant instructions are in the konstruct README file. If
you're starting KDE using "startx", you need to edit the file ~/.xinitrc .
Add the lines given in
http://developer.kde.org/build/konstruct/stable/README
under the heading "After installation." After those lines, put the line:
exec startkde

After that, "startx" should start up your new KDE 3.5. If you're starting
KDE from kdm, it's a bit different, and I'm not sure offhand how to do it -
check the KDM handbook (you can read the latest version online at
docs.kde.org).

HTH,
Phil
