[Interest] [KDE/Mac] Qt4/KDE4 issue with persistent window size across restarts on OS X 10.9

[Jeremy Whiting]

Rene,

As you describe this problem, the first thing that comes to mind is
KMainWindow's restoreWindowSize and saveWindowSize
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKMainWindow.html#a4a6636a6282a3f38f76fd8a7f4fe5fb3
which are usually called from ctor and dtor from what I remember when the
applications I maintained were kdelibs4 based.
