KDE and Window Decoration

Hey... I have a little problem. I have an application with several windows. I want that some of the windows have no Window Manager decoration (menu, move...) while others have the possibility to move, to be iconified...
Under CDE and Motif Window manager this is quite simple using some X-ressources.
However, in KDE I have not been able to find the equivalent function. Can somebody help me?

Thank...

You can create window-specific settings/rules for a window/ app by pressing Alt+F3 > Advanced > Special Window Settings. You can play around with the options.

Thank for the information and your quick reply. I have appreciated that. But it seems that the version I am using does not have such options. My KDE version is a 3.1.3-6.6. This is provided with a RedHat Enterprise WS 3 linux.
When I use the Alt-F3 key, I can indeed change the menu configuration, but it is applied to all my windows.
And even with it, I cannot do all I want. FOr example, I would like to remove all the window manager stuff (to have something looking a bit like the desktop tool bar.
