Great work and updates.. It seems useable already:)

Wow, that is good. I knew that Stefan had applied for gmane, but I was
not aware of this update. Nice job Stefan. May be we should advertise
it over the users mailing list and the webpages as well...

I have updated the TODO_KDE4 file.. Few comments here too..

I am not sure if you got to this issue, neither the File browser nor
the workspace browser opens up properly the first time... I have to
drag it out. Need debug/valgrind  info?

I had a crazy idea here.. Is it possible to access a variable (as
read-only) when it is part of a running code? (smell debugger?)

In this regard, a non KDE4 issue:
I was trying the following code: i=1; while (i>0) {}
If it executed by-passing the console and I try print(i) in the
console, then the R engine / threading system somehow stops, doesn't
freeze, doesn't crash! If I try to cancel through the "Pending jobs"
window, some "sync" situation arises. The same can be achieved when
the code is executed through the console and I use the workspace
browser to "View" i.
