    Today I ran rkward under kdesudo (I had my reasons) and it looked much nice than when I run it as me (there were also a lot less errors starting up shown on the terminal than when starting as me).  So I was wondering, where does rkward get its user settings from?  I'm guessing some kde config files have something to do with it, but which ones?

    There are a lot of old data and packages that automatically load when i start as me but not with kdesudo.  Where is rkward told to load these as I don't want them anymore - I'd like a clean break!

    Just thought I'd add that old data load even when I specify new workspace at the begining of the session.

    Hi,

    KDE settings are generally stored in
     

        `kde4-config -localprefix`/share/config

    However, the thing that gets in your way is the default R workspace. This is the hidden file

        .RData

    in whichever folder you start rkward from. It really is a bit buggy that this is loaded on every startup, but that's the way it is, currently. You'll need to move .RData out of the way to prevent this.
