configuring kde/kwin for no borders etc

Hi All.

Sorry if this is easily available somewhere else, but i spent a fair bit of time looking through the documentation and couldn't find anything specific. I am using Fedora 6, and the latest version of kde through the fedora core repo, 3.5.5-0.4 i believe...

here is what i want to do: I want to be able to open windows without borders or menu's on them WITHOUT having to right click on the menu and deselct the border. For instance: I would like to call mplayer and have it open a video without borders, and for it to stay on the top at all times (until I quit the shell it ran in or I open the menu and close it). I figure this is in the conf files in ~/.kde or /etc/kde somewhere.

I am not scared of editing text files or anything, I'd just like to have a bit of a head start, as KDE is huge as you all know...

(also, I would prefer to be able to do it as a per-case/call method, but if it was a global thing where mplayer would always open it like this that would be okay too).

If you want this for specific application, then open app and click on border icon to get menu and select:
Advanced->special application settings
Now under preferences, select No border -> apply initialy and check another checkbox on your right (right after apply initialy).
Restart your application.
