Well, the release branch code for 0.4.9 is antique! The Last Changed
Revision is probably r2489. There has been a lot of qt3 to qt4 port in
between. I was trying to follow the changes in
rkward/rkward/windows/rkhtmlwindow.cpp. I am not sure what the
revision version is for this file (may be r1854). Even r2672 (that is
when the first 2.10 help system port was started) is hell lot
different!!

So yeah, I guess it is best to leave it alone.

Right now, options(help_type='text') is one option or just run a
separate R session!!
