Yeah, but KDE 3's konsole did it without that workaround.  Also, KDE 4's 
konsole *almost* does it right.  It gets the right size *unless* it is 
closed when it is maximized (even just vertically or horizontally).  Even 
then, it gets the height correctly but the width is completely off-kilter.

I wish konsole had retained the feature where you could easily choose some 
predefined sizes -- 40x25, 80x25, 80x50, etc.  That was a really handy way 
to get the 80-column wide terminal I desire even when I want to change 
fonts.  It also made any sizing issues largely moot, because I could simply 
choose an 80x* option and then vertically maximize it.

(I don't want the position fixed, I like KDE's smart window placement most 
of the time, especially when then initial size of the window is already 
correct.)
