Description scott 2004-02-11 11:47:12 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

Trying to set the window size for knonsole using the --vt_sz CCxLL doesn't work

To repeat:

# konsole --vt_sz 10x10 &

Result: Konsole opens maximised.
Expected: A 10x10 konsole window to open.

I'm using 3.2.0 rpms from http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
I've also repeated the behaviour on a SuSE 8.2 (3.2.0, rpms from kde.org)

It worked fine in 3.1.x

Works for me on KDE 3.2 and KDE CVS (as of Jan 02, 2004).

% echo $LINES $COLUMNS
10 12

I think the COLUMNS has to do with what font is being used.
Comment 2 Kurt Hindenburg 2004-02-12 07:54:04 UTC 
That's KDE CVS Feb 11, 2004.

Konsole has a certain minimum width. With 20 as width it works just fine.

Comment 4 scott 2004-02-12 10:59:35 UTC 
20x20 doesn't work for me, however I do have more info...

Once the konsole window has opened maximised clicking on the 'restore' button on the title bar makes the konsole window the size specified in the launch command.

Incidentally I don't have 'store window settings' checked.
Comment 5 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-03-29 06:41:03 UTC 
See Comment #3; depends on the font used, but it looks like 12 is the smallest width.
