Interesting suggestion. I'll add it to our TODO list (but won't promise 
anything on when this will be implemented, yet). Do you happen to know of a 
method to retrieve the filename of a (file bound) graphics device?

Yes, also added this to the TODO list. Filename completion would be attempted 
whenever the current context is a string. Unfortunately, right now, it is not 
easy to detect, when we are in string context for inside rkward (even though 
strings are highlighted). With KDE4 this will be much easier. Not quite sure, 
whether I'll attack this issue before that time.
