Are you sure it is not possible to change directly in the configuration files? 
The size of the panel was configurable directly in 4.0.1 and only in 4.0.2 it 
had a graphical configuration.

I am just guessing here, I have no idea if that is possible or not.

As far I understand from reading Aaron's blog and the freedesktop.org page 
struts are defined in the window manager standard. So the problem is neither 
at xorg level or at kde4 level but instead it is intermediate. The fact that 
all the window manager follow the same protocol allows us to replace them 
easily.
