So far neither of the GUI emulation tools (wmctrl, xdotool) has worked. I
have gotten tired of running the program, remembering that the output is an
unreadable mish-mash in the normal-sized window, manually clicking the top
left widget on the Konsole window and checking Maximize, then running the
program again; which is why I want the script program I'm running to do it
automagically; but on this machine, at least, the DCOP command does not work,
even though 'Allow programs to resize terminal window' is enabled.

Unless one is committed to the notion of doing this the hard way (because
geeks like a challenge? or because it's a learning experience?), there is a
much easier, gooey way of doing this. It's one of those great features of
TDE, almost like we might expect from Windoze or the rotten Apple.

Can you post a screenshot of the window before and after the maximisation
attempt?
I forgot: wmctrl or xdotool:

So far I have tried DCOP, xdotool and now wmctrl. All of them
complete with return code 0, but none of them maximize the window size;
so it's not just that DCOP is broken, something in X is not working
right. Is it possible that something in XDG is
involved? (I really don't
know all the things that XDG do.)
Most unlikely. By chance, do you run wayland with X11 emulation?
