Bug 196397

Version:           2.1 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 8.13", SUSE Linux Enterprise 11)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.19-5-default

Google seems to indicate that others have encountered this problem, but I can't find a bug report for it.  There has to be since my experience is so completely unacceptable:

* It used to be the case that geometry was a settable attribute when saving settings.  It is a horrible regression that this capability has been disabled.

* It should be possible to make an X setting in .Xdefaults:
  xterm*geometry:         81x105
  Doesn't work.

* it should be possible to set the geometry in a command line option in the property settings of the Konsole desktop file.  Nope, doesn't work either.

Folks, distributions are dropping KDE 3.5 nowadays.  Your "improvements" are making my life much more difficult.  Please, please, please fix some regressions before adding more features.  Thank you very much!  Regards, Bruce
