KWindowConfig::restoreWindowSize is broken for some reason.

I did some investigation and basically what happens is this:
 - KWindowConfig::restoreWindowSize resutls in QXcbWindow::setGeometry call
 - geometry is set to the QWindow, but no to its QWidgets (no idea why)
 - when event loop hits next loop, widgets are checked if their size >= their min size
 - because they didn't receive the updated geometry, this^ is not true
 - the widgets get resized to their min size
 - the window has a wrong geometry

I don't know why the widgets don't receive the event however, my knowledge in this is lacking.
