By these settings you can define the position and the dimensions of the application on the screen. To give you an example: The screen of the Kobo Touch has a resolution of 800 x 600. Automatically, the KSM applications are drawn, starting at the left top corner of the screen, and filling the whole screen. This would correspond to the following setting.
ksmGeometryValuesN=600x800+0+0 (<width>x<height>+<Xoffset>+<Yoffset>)
If you set the values to ksmGeometryValuesN=600x600+0+0 the application will cover only the top three quarters of the screen, and the fourth quarter will be left.
If you set the values to ksmGeometryValuesN=600x600+0+200 the top quarter of the screen will be unused, and the application will cover the remaining 3 quarters.
You can set these values for each orientation (North, East, South, West). North is the standard orientation (this is when you hold the device so that the power button is on top.)
This option has been introduced, because on some models (e.g. Aura) part of the screen is covered by the bezel (as a result a small part of the KSM applications is hidde behind the bezel). The geometry settings give you a means to correct this. I tried to preset these geometry settings for the concerned devices. So hopefully (since update 2) you do not need to bother about these settings, except you like to achieve some special effect.
