My Acer Aspire One has a 1024x600 screen, and this seems to make konsole have difficulties starting with a sensible size. The following is 100% reproduceable:

- Open a konsole -- size is 984x270 (nb: my panel is 40 pixels wide on the left, so this is full-width)
- Open another konsole -- this one is 522x600 (full height)
- Open a third konsole -- goes back to the wide version

And subsequent konsoles alternate like this, whatever I do with the size of each individual konsole. I'd expect it (a) not to come up in this weird size, or at least (b) to remember its size after I resize it.

I *was* able to get reasonably-sized default konsoles by setting the kwin "special window properties".

Here's my konsolerc (nb: sometimes I use an external monitor that's 1440x900):
