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.

A startup config file hidden somewhere?
