You could use fvwm with kde... start fvwm as normal, and then run startkde 
from inside fvwm. It will then load all of the kde desktop(i.e. panel, 
desktop, etc) except the window manager, using fvwm instead.
This would allow you to use the window resizing of fvwm, and the features of 
KDE.

I also think there is a program that comes with XFree86 that allows you to 
set the size and position of a window by specifying it on the commandline. If 
you could find that, you could bind a key to it.
