xmonad tile window size

When Alt-Left Clicking to float a window, can I specify the size of the window? Right now, as soon as it's untiled, it becomes the size of the master window, and I would like it to be a specified size.

You can resize the window with your mouse using mod+right click.

XMonad is extremely programmable. I came up with the following function, which is to be bound to your mouse:

resizeAndMove w =  withDisplay $ \d -> do
               focus w
               io $ resizeWindow d w 800 600
               float w
               mouseMoveWindow w
               windows W.shiftMaster
