Window settings broken?

I rebuilt a full package set on Sunday. Today I notice kpdf opens in a tiny 470x285 window. Maximzing kpdf, then closing, then reopening results in the same tiny window. Forced settings fail to override. Previously kpdf always opened maximum screen for me. kpdf now seems to ignore the kpdfrc [MainWindow] settings, which I verified have not changed. I don't know whether this behavior is limited to kpdf or affects all apps. I believe this is a very new bug. I'm asking for confirmation before filing a report. I haven't yet tried to try to bisect when this behavior began by reinstalling packages from older build sets. Thanks. :) Darrell
