[LBo] KDE 3.4.2 window size

[tls123 at rcn.com]

Thank you for your help.  The window size became correct when I bumbled (It 
seems that for me most solutions happen if I keep on tinkering with a 
situation that I think needs to be improved and accidently bumble into it.  
Sadly I should be more logical  in approaching these situations.) into 
adjusting the font size.  This was with the browser set to the "file 
management" profile.  I appreciate your input.
