Very good idea.  In my case, this would hopefully allow me to debug
a new multiscreen issue ...

There are some recent HOWTOs at

[1] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs
[2] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Development
[3] https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source
[4]
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Details
[5]
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Plasma_5_on_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS

but I don't know yet how useful [3]-[5] really are.

I'm using Fedora -- yes, a walk through for building Plasma (ideally with
distro-specific hints) would be greatly appreciated.
