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.
Can you post a screenshot of the window before and after the maximisation attempt?
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?

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.

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.
