	So far neither of the GUI emulation tools (wmctrl, xdotool) has worked.  I
have gotten tired of running the program, remembering that the output is an
unreadable mish-mash in the normal-sized window, manually clicking the top
left widget on the Konsole window and checking Maximize, then running the
program again; which is why I want the script program I'm running to do it
automagically; but on this machine, at least, the DCOP command does not work,
even though 'Allow programs to resize terminal window' is enabled.
