Hmm, you're right. I just had the opportunity to play with my Karmic 
test installation for a short time and I can confirm that the option is 
gone in systemsettings. Well, then we are back to last century when we 
had do edit config files. :(

This is untested but it should work because I still had the "Active 
Desktop Borders" set to "Always enabled" and it was working. I suppose 
you have to logout and use a text login (Ctrl-Alt-F2) to make the 
change. In ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc search for the section

[Windows]

In this section should be an entry

ElectricBorders=0

Make the entry "ElectricBorders=1" if you want the option "Only when 
moving windows" or "ElectricBorders=2" if you want the option "Always 
enabled". After saving the file return to the graphical login screen 
(Alt-F7). Login and test if it works as expected.
