In Windows, I think it was "hold down SHIFT" when closing a window. Some
people reported this not to work or onlywork sporadically. It wasn't
reliable and I haven't a clue about compatibility across different versions
of Windows.

I have the same problem myself. I do not see these menus. I have one entry
named "Store Window Settings" but it never worked for me. I also have
"Configure Window Behavior" which takes me to the KDE Control Module. I am
not entirely sure what the plus/minus sign at the top-left corner of the
window decoration does. I was never entirely sure either (maybe this
screenshot < http://www.schestowitz.com/temp/window_settings.jpg > will
illustrate what I am talking about). I'd appreciate help with this as I
/always/ have to resize KNode when I start using it.

I find the behaviour quite mysterious myself and would like to find a
permanent solution. Enabling "Store Window Settings" seemed to have worked
sometimes, but I am not too sure if it was just a fluke.

Firefox no longer gives me any trouble, but if I wanted to change back its
size to the old settings, I'd probably have a hard time.
These are just my mere 2 cents...
