So digging in the bug reports (kde bug #180437) revealed those buttons
for positioning are intentionally left out. Compare to recent SVN
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/randr/outputconfig.cpp?view=markup

 // FIXME: RandRScreen::applyProposed() has a bit of code for positioning
 // outputs, but it's commented out and might not work as is. Until someone
 // gets this to work, it's probably better not to show these controls.
 positionLabel->setVisible(false);
 positionCombo->setVisible(false);
 positionOutputCombo->setVisible(false);

and once you had a look at RandRScreen::applyProposed you know why it
is not working. So unless somebody works on it, this feature just has
not yet been coded.
