Dear Al,
I looked through the places where we find qodesh and qadosh, and found that 
qadosh is
used mostly as a predicate adjective.  The notable exception is the common 
phrase
"holy place."  You also find once "holy people" and several times "the holy 
one."
The construct state is frequently used in an attributive fashion, so I am not 
sure if
there is any real difference in meaning.
