This is with kde4.x Kept looking and this helps: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=81242 However, a few details left out. For example, It seems to really get konsole to open with a fix size you have to first open it and set the desired size. Then right click on bar at top and select Advanced then Application Specific Setting. Then under Geometry I set Size, Apply Initially and maximaize horizontally, apply initially maximize vertically, apply initially (Without these previously hor/vert max konsole caused next konsole to be the same. Maybe a bug?) The rest leave unchecked or at Do Not Affect Then on workarounds tab Strictly obey geometry, force All others Do no affect. This can also be done directly and edited with KDE Window Specific Setting from Control Module. Did similar thing for kfm/konqueror. So now they work the way I want. This is KDE 4.4 now from F12 unstable. Seems to be working great!
