Try
kstart --type Override applicationname

That works for me in KDE 3.2.
IIRC prior to that there was an option --override

In any case
kstart --help
gives you more info.

You can move windows with
Alt + Left Mouse Button

To resize:
Alt + Right Mouse Button

Dunno about the titlebar menu.

Re: hiding titlebar and borders

thanks, but the problem is that windows started with 'kstart --type Override' don't respond to the 'Alt + Mouse Button' behavior.

i'm on KDE 3.0, maybe that's the problem. if i run 'kstart --type Override xclock', i can't move the clock with ALT+LMB. The ALT+LMB works fine for titled windows . . .

i'll also take a look at my kde settings.

Yes, that could be the reason: I'm on KDE 3.2.

Are you talking specifically about KDE 3.0 only?
Alt+Space doesn't seem to do anything for me (KDE 3.2).

You have to select the "windows scheme" in keyboard shortcuts. There are some other shortcut schemes too but for them the key combination is different.
