That one should be what you are looking for.

Right now, I have an icon created for Rkward on the KDE panel (ie, the bar at the bottom of the screen, kind of like Windows' Quick Launch) so that I could launch by clicking the icon. I was able to right-click it and choose Properties. In Properties, there is a field where I could tell it where to start. By default, it's left blank. When i specify a folder, the mysterious workspace is no longer loaded.

I can't quite figure out where it gets that image from. On the command line, I can do --no-restore. But there seems to be no place to sneak in these command line options under Rkward.  A startup config file hidden somewhere?
