I don't think it is possible. If you change it through the display settings in KDE you will need to log out to get the changes applied. You need to restart X if you make changes to XF86Config file as well so I guess you don't have a choice
I am on a journey to mastering Linux and I got a bloody long way to go!!!

provided ur /etc/XF86config (or /etc/XF86config-4 in mdk) spaecifies other resolutions u can switch between them by pressing ctrl+alt+numpad_plus or c.+a.+numpad_minus

yes, ok! i know! but in a german pc newspaper i've read, that it gives a tool, or that the new version of the x-window system supports that!!! I couldn't believe it!! The question was only if anybody have heard sth about a tool or sth else.
