Ah, ok, I understand. What you can do is put a kickerrc in 
$KDEDIR/share/config on both of your computers and lock the parts that 
specify the sizes by putting [$i] behind the keys. E.g.
CustomSize[$i]=58
Size[$i]=2

You will then no longer be able to change these settings but they will be 
dependant on the machine you are running.

There are some config options that are being saved indexed with the active 
screen resolution, that way you can maintain different settings for different 
resolutions. I will have a look to see if I can make use of that here as 
well.

Cheers,
Waldo
