Login using Plasma5 or KDE Plasma Workspace results in the same but IceWM gives a normal sized screen. Maybe this is related to the zoom functionality https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=117741
Check ~/.config/kwinrc
for the entry [Effect-Zoom] InitialZoom=1
and if the value is !=1 set it to 1. as a post there suggests: "Then i pressed shift+alt+F12 two times in order to disable/enable the desktop effects."

Thanks Dieter,
I'll get him to check the setting.
I don't have the entry in my kwinrc but the URL may explain what happened as he suspected it was something he did.

Sid.
Hi Sid, I think I fixed it! As you know, nothing I seemed to do was having any effect, so next random thought was "If it thinks it wants a big screen, I'll give it one!" My Raspberry Pi screen has a DVI port and an HDMI to DVI cable (the Pi, as you know, uses an HDMI output). Plugged the screen in and toggled the switch screen key. The display switched to the external screen at more or less the right shape (the external screen is full HD (1920x1080). Toggled the switch again, both screens blanked. One more toggle, and it switched to the laptop screen at the right proportions and the right size! And this survives over a reboot. -- Sid Boyce ...
