Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Konsole forgets the window size settings from the last session since 4.1.4. In 4.1.3 it would resume with the the same size (80x33 for me). Doing a rm .kde4/share/config/konsolerc solves the issue for the next run until a new rc-file is created. This bug does not seem connected to Bug 165520.
It seems that the konsole musn't touch the taskbar spanning the whole vertical space. More precisely: $ rm .kde4/share/config/konsolerc *restart konsole* (no the window takes up maxmimum vertical space) $ cat .kde4/share/config/konsolerc [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Shell.profile [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=/home/christoph/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile [MainWindow] Height 768=769 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAApEAAAKmAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA Width 1024=657 *restart konsole* (no the window takes up maximum horizontal space) $ cat .kde4/share/config/konsolerc [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Shell.profile [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=/home/christoph/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile [MainWindow] Height 768=307 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAA/YAAAEaAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA Width 1024=1025 *resize to 89x13* *restart konsole* (keeps its setting) $ cat .kde4/share/config/konsolerc [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Shell.profile [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=/home/christoph/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile [MainWindow] Height 768=307 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAAtkAAAEaAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA Width 1024=729 *restart konsole* $ cat .kde4/share/config/konsolerc [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Shell.profile [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=/home/christoph/.kde4/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile [MainWindow] Height 768=307 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAAtkAAAEaAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA Width 1024=729 So I can have 80x33 as long as the window doesn't touch the taskbar.
I've got the same behaviour as I have described in bug 182422. It's really irritating having to manually resize the konsole all the time.
Just upgraded form 4.1.3 to 4.2.0 and now I have this problem too. It works fine so long as isn't tall enough to tough the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

Check KDE 4.2.1. It seems it has been resolved in this version.
Seems to work under 4.3.4, closing as WORKSFORME.
Try again! The bug was out there and it has been fixed in 4.2.1. The correct resolution is RESOLVED FIXED and not WORKSFORME which denote that the bug never existed and worked fine.
Well, if this makes any difference, changing to FIXED.
