decoration(less) windows or dockable pager?

Is it possible to run open an application without window decorations? I run kpager to move apps from one window to another, but I don't need the titlebar and buttons. Is it possible to remove these? OR is there a way to dock the pager? Or is there a paging applet that will autohide? I know that the desktops appear in the taskbar, but these don't show any application icons. Desktop space on my laptop is limited.

Thanks.

Not sure if this works with kpager, but kstart --type override can usually start application without window decorations.

Thanks for the tip. Kstart works great for other apps, but doesn't seem to affect kpager. I worked through all the options, but it still appears with window decorations.

If I mouse carefully, I can tuck the titlebar up above the edge of the screen, leaving only the page button on screen. That works OK.

I used a shareware app in Windows that docked to the desktop edge and could autohide. That sort of thing would be ideal, if anyone knows of a Linux equivalent.

You can move a window easily while holding down ALT and clicking anywhere inside the window to drag.

I suggest filing a feature request on bugs.kde.org for KPager.
