Sorry, I thought 'konq, right-click icon' was clear enough. Perhaps I should 
have mentioned that this was a 'run app' icon.

This does in fact seem to be true. I don't see a --geometry option listed 
in 'konsole --help', but the similar -vt_sz option does more or less what I 
want, thanks.

I actually tried creating an independent konsole window, maximizing it, saving 
that as a profile called 'maximized', and adding '--profile maximized' to my 
Terminal Options. This caused a strange effect; when I ran it, what seemed to 
be a large window flashed briefly on and off the screen, then a normal sized 
konsole window opened. But it completely failed to run the associated script.
I guess there will have been an error message somewhere, but it wasn't 
in /var/log/messages, or in .xsession-errors. Any ideas where else I might 
look?

Incidentally, any reason there's no 'man konsole' (or is this just a distro 
problem)?
