Difficult to say.
ksystraycmd is a special helper application, to modify window properties for 
windows that are not capable of "docking into" the system tray area 
themselves.

Thus the modified application can not save this at session shutdown and it 
wouldn't be able to restore it.
ksystraycmd, being just a start helper not a full application, does not do 
session management, so the only party involved which could probably save 
something is the window manager. But then it might be a problem for real 
system tray applications, i.e. the window manager saves their status and they 
do as well, probably a slighlty different one (e.g. because the user 
configured them so)

I personally use Yuakuake http://extragear.kde.org/apps/yakuake/ for fast 
access to Konsole.

Cheers,
Kevin
