Well, right click on window deco of konsole (you can do it for any app).
Go to Advanced --> Special Application Settings...;
then select Geometry;
then check "Placement" and select "Force" and "Centered"
Your konsole will be placed on the desktop center.

centershell needs eterm libast and imlib2
I have install imlib already. So I just need to download 2 more package from linuxpackages and install them (DO NOT use pkg from Eterm official website. It is old)
sudo installpkg libast-0.7-i486-1ms.tgz
sudo installpkg eterm-0.9.4-i486-1gh.tgz
make a link to /bin
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Eterm /bin/Eterm
Make sure you can start Eterm in command line.
run ./centershell.sh or put it to ~/.kde/Autostart
If you are not using 1024X768 screen change eterm position in centershell.sh
Enjoy it

Of course you have lot of choices centershell just make the whole process easy. You can also put it in .kde/Autostart to start it everytime
Hey, you can center any app on the desktop, using kwin (right click on the window frame, Advanced ...)
...and there you can also find an option to make window-decorations disappear.
Which option does that?

Sorry, I meant the option to make the window-decorations disappear. Thanks.
instead of Geometry, select Preferences --> "No border" For konsole there's also "--noframe" option, but it doesn't work with my style.
That worked like a charm. Thanks for help.
Sorry im new to linux, what do i need to do if i would like to enable windows decorations again? Thanks. Juan
