May I quote from our documentation, class KWM in libkdecore:
  /**
   *Window region define the rectangle where windows can appear. A
   * window which can be fully maximized will exactly fill this
   * region. The regions are settable withing kwm to allow desktop
   * panels like kpanel to stay visible even if a window becomes maximized.
   * kwm will store the regions in the kwmrc when exiting.
   */
  static void setWindowRegion(int desk, const QRect &region);
  /**
    * Returns the window region of the specified virtual desktop.
    */
  static QRect getWindowRegion(int desk);
