Unfortunately I mis-triaged this bug report, and sadly these are all app-specific issues. The problem is that some apps, when they maximize themselves, they also inappropriately save the new size they have in their maximized state. As a result, when you quit and re-launch such apps, one of the following things happens:
- The window open in a non-maximized state with a window size equal to what it *would* have when maximized
- The window opens in a maximized state, but when you de-maximize it, it doesn't change its size at all

See Bug 478442 for an example affecting System Monitor.

So I'm afraid we need a bug report for each individual KDE app that's affected. And for non-KDE apps that are affected, they'll need their own bug reports too.
