OK...

So I assume from your explanation that we are talking about Konqueror...

I just ran some tests on my machine.

I can open one instance of Konq in desktop2 and one instance of Konq in 
desktop3 and make mutually exclusive adjustments to the window sizes. I can 
also independently send each instance to whatever desktop I choose without 
affecting the other instance (no affect to either window size nor what 
desktop the other instance is living in...).

I think this is what you want to do. So, now I wonder if you are aware there 
are multiple choices for "move to desktop" when you are running multiple 
instances of an app.

Right clicking the app on the taskbar presents a menu. That menu contains "All 
to desktop" which will move all windows for that app to a particular desktop. 
Alternatively, the top of that menu contains a choice for each instance of 
the app; hovering over one of those menu items presents a submenu that 
contains "To Desktop" that will affect only that instance.

Is that what you're looking for???
