No idea. But at least in the definition of KDE4_ADD_EXECUTABLE, Q_WS_MAC is 
used, too, to control creation of a BUNDLE (at least as far as I understand 
it), rather than APPLE.

Well that would be a bit tricky, though, since the rbackend target is not 
created unconditionally. And the logic to control, whether or not it is, is in 
rbackend/CMakeLists.txt, not the main CMakeLists.txt.

(BTW: This is to allow building a single-process variant of RKWard, as before 
RKWard 0.5.5. And the main reason, why I did not remove support for that, yet, 
is that I'm not quite sure, whether / how it will be possible to support 
graphics device embedding across processes on Mac. Anyway, that's a whole 
different story, altogether).

Yes, of course. It's just that platform specific switches always tend to make 
me nervous, since it's so hard to test any changes that you may wish make to 
them, at a later point of time. So, please just keep in mind to clean up as 
good as reasonably possible, when you're done.

Hm, the icon is supposed to come from lines 928 and 1009 of 
dialogs/rkloadlibsdialog.cpp. As you can see, it's simply 
QApplication::windowIcon(). Since, as far as I can see on your screenshot, 
windows do have the RKWard icons, I don't really understand, why this appears 
to fail. You could try replacing it with
   RKWardMainWindow::getMain ()->windowIcon ()
(you'll have to add
   #include "../rkward.h"
near the top of the file, too).
