I have had several requests over IRC and at Akademy for Konsole to automatically remember its window size between sessions, and also several bug reports from users complaining that they were unable to figure out how to save changes to the default setup in KDE 3.

Making the window size management automatic was intended to make this easier for users and behave like other KDE applications (which also use KMainWindow internally).  

Presumably this problem affects other KDE applications as well, although Konsole gets used more than they do.  Perhaps I should mail to kde-core-devel?

You can do that now.  Settings -> Manage Profiles.  Click the Shortcut column for the profile that you want to assign a shortcut to and enter the shortcut.  There are a couple of known bugs at the moment.  The shortcut entering is done using a line-edit rather than the KDE shortcut sequence dialog and the change will not take effect until a new Konsole window is created.

You can do that as well.  Settings -> Manage Profiles.  Click the profile you want as the default and click "Set as Default".  At the moment the "New Tab" action will always duplicate the active session's working directory.  It might be useful to have an option for new instances not to inherit the working directory of the previous session.  

Given the feature/string freeze I'm not sure that I could do this for KDE 4.0 though.
