Ok, I see, now. Well, the encoding RKWard runs in is affected by the 
environment variables KDE_LANG and the difference locale variable (most 
noteably LC_CTYPE for the character encoding).

How exactly do you set the locale? It should be possible to do the same when 
starting rkward, probably. For instance, what do you get, if you start rkward 
with
# LC_ALL=el_GR.ISO-8859-7 rkward
? Does this fix things? What do you get, when you run
> Sys.getlocale ()
in the console (in plain R and rkward)?

If this is in fact the issue, we'd just need a good way to allow the user to 
specify the locale to use on startup. However, no good idea on this, yet.
