How to make konsole always start with fixed size?

[gds at chartertn.net (Gene Smith)]

Is there a way to make konsole, and perhaps other programs too, always 
start with a fixed size? I have tried --geometry 80x20 on the command 
line but it ignores it. The new konsole always starts with the same size 
as the previously opened konsole was set to it seems. This is with kde4.x

Thanks,
