I had this issue too temporary [1] but updating kdelibs, kde-runtime, kde-baseapps and kde-workspace resolved it (I checked of course first whether it is Dolphin related but nothing has been changed at this code since 4.7). It seems to be no general issue otherwise I guess we'd get bombed by a lot of duplicates ;-) Could you please check whether it might be a local issue and whether updating the libraries helps? Thanks!

[1] Not related to the width but the size has not been remembered at all here, although on a second computer with exactly the same Dolphin code the size was remembered.

Since I upgraded to KDE 4.8.0 I have similar issues. Dolphin does not expand to 100% width as described above, but it always forgets its previous size.
I have worked around this by defining a window rule for Dolphin, but that's not a permanent solution.
Without this window rule, Dolphin always starts at some default size at some default position.

I am using Kubuntu 11.10, KDE 4.8.0, Dolphin 2.0.
The bug is not reproducible by me. I change the size, close Dolphin and when I reopen it:
1. It reopens with the same size I left it when I closed it, positioning in the left-top corner(but that is configurable from: System Settings->Window Behavior->Window Behavior->Advanced->Window Tabbing->Placement"
2. If I snap it to one side or the other and close it, when I reopen it, it is snapped to the same location.
3. If I maximize it and then close, when I reopen it, it is maximized.

All the behaviors are the way they have to be for me...

Cannot reproduce with Dolphin 17.12.3. I'll close this as @Lillian could not reproduce this issue either. If you still experience this bug, please reopen.
