There must be another way to achieve that without having to implement a
per-window/application forcing policy. If the app used to start up
maximized and suddenly began to start up un-maximized then it means that
it is possible to store that info through some other method.

So, can anyone help?

Applications can store window position and size for themselves and advise
the window manager at startup to restore these values. The KDE window
manager follows this advise, others may not.

To force maximized windows for any application, create a generic rule
matching no specific window under ``kcmshell kwinrules``.

How does one tell an application, eg konsole, to store its window size?
Would this be the same size in any desktop?
I find, under KDE-4.0.5 (Fedora-9) that the window size of konsole
(and other applications) appears to be fairly random.
I want the window to be full-size, which it usually but not always is.

We're on a different level: I'm still using KDE 3. KDE 4 is still under
active development, probably some things are not yet implemented. I never
really understood, why fedora includes only KDE 4, imho against any reason.

Sorry, but regarding KDE 4 I can't help you.
