i see. i don't know too much about the internal processes, but maybe some kind 
of journal that is kept up-to-date would be a way?

sure, that would be absolutely helpful. if this is much easier to get to work 
i can live with that. just restarting the backend would look a tiny bit more 
"elegant" to me (like restarting networking devices without rebooting the OS); 
fwiw, i for one can't really remember any case where i felt the need to 
restart RKWard, apart from loading a changed package. but both approaches 
would ease the pain considerably ;-)

ok, it's not too critical either, of course.
