“There are two ways to access Window Specific Settings. One is
to right click on the title bar of the window you want to
configure, click “Advanced“, and click “Special
Window Settings“. The other is to start System Settings,
click the “Window Behavior” button, and then click
“Window-Specific“. From there just click
“New…” to make a new rule. In the second method
you will have to manually specify the name of the window or click
“Detect Window Properties” and click on the window you
want to configure.

“You can set the exact size, position, desktop, and state of
your window. For example, when you start Konsole, you might want it
to always be a window of “800,600″ size and want it to
start on Desktop 2.”
