For kdepim/Kontact problems, Kevin and Andras know more than you or I will 
ever know.  Try their solutions before anything else.

FWIW I got 4.7.3 on Fedora 15 and say the same sort of problems.  Konsole was 
very small and in the top corner, and settings such as the geometry and 
position were totally ignored.  The whole thing was so impossible that I ended 
up abandoning the install and doing a fresh one from the dvd + updates.  
Whether the problem is in 4.7.3 or in Fedora packages I don't know, but I'm 
back in 4.6.5 and staying away from 4.7 and F16.
