In order to enhance the integration of RKward into the desktop, it would be nice to have an option to execute Rkward in a "script mode", in which we provide a script file and Rkward open the editor with a blank workspace (or with a provided workspace).

It could be something like this: "rkward -script file.R". Then, since the MIME type already exists for R source files, when clicking on a foo.R file in (say) Dolphin, RKward would be launched, with foo.R in the editor and a blank workspace.

Right now, if one wants to just open a script and run some commands inside, one has to run RKward beforehand, click on "Open file", then navigate to the file and open it, which can quickly become frustrating if you have the file available in a Dolphin window...
