True but still confusing or at least "hard" to find.

Checked. Works perfect.

Maybe you could use
run.png (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/actions/ on my system)
for "Run current line" and
kleansweep.png for "Flush Output" (icon from kleansweep 
(http://linux.bydg.org/~yogin/#))

(see attachment)

It's not okay. It's perfect! One click and my Output is "clean" again. I like 
it and I think users will like it that way too.

That from Workspace. As a user I would search in Settings since I can set or 
change there anything. 
Another issue came to my mind (playing again as a user/R-beginner) . One can 
install and load/unload packages, yes? But remove? Where is the remove 
button? ;)

Okay. Good idea.
