I built from konstruct.  Only 2 minor problems enountered.  I had to 
edit /usr/include/xine.h to fix a syntax error, and I had to fix dirmngr to 
work with Fedora's db4, which I did by adding a link /usr/lib/libdb-4.so 
-> /lib/libdb-4.1.so.

I also wrote this script (see attachment)
and modified /etc/inittab:

x:5:respawn:/opt/kde3.2-beta2/bin/prekdm

At first, I tried adding /opt/kde3.2-beta2/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and running 
ldconfig, then adding /opt/kde3.2-beta2/{lib,bin} to /etc/prelink.conf and 
running prelink, but it turns out that this screwed up the ability to go back 
to the original kde-3.1 installation.  I reverted these files and reran 
prelink, and then kde3.1 was restored.  It turns out that these steps were 
not necessary.  I guess it's because kde3.2 was build with -R soecho 
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so even without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or 
modifying /etc/ld.so.conf, kde3.2 binaries seem to find the correct 
libraries:

One more thing, for some reason I had to reset my font choices.  With stock 
fedora1 kde, the fonts looked very nice, but after installing kde3.2 they 
didn't look so good.  I chose bitstream vera sans for most things, and it 
looks good.
