gled, you might be able to create a script to run through the
found konsole windows and reset the geometry to something sane.
something like 'xdotool' might help, for example:
xdotool -windowmap ...
xdotool -windowmove ... 1 1
You could put that into an Autostart directory script.

Worst case you could change the XDG variables to hunt for

I'm not sure about issues you may be facing booting from flash-disk,
