Give me a help if you can! Thanks in > advance and merry christmas! 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).
