I only see this issue sometimes when I plug an external monitor than restart 
without the monitor available.

This works for me. I also did another try the size of Kontact in general and 
also the columns width is restored correctly. Maybe you need to remove your 
current session to restart with a fresh one. I have different session 
artifacts, like apps get started again and again, but I also close them.

I cannot reproduce, as I don't have two monitors attached to my computer.

Don't use okular that much, so I normal don't have okular open when 
restarting.

Please search for upstream bugs and if there are non please create them 
https://bugs.kde.org.  I would place them at ksmserver, as it is mostly likely 
that this has the issues.If there are patches we can backport them to Debian.
