yes. That part is documented in the troubleshooting section of our FAQ 
(http://p.sf.net/rkward/faq). I'm afraid there is not much we can do about it 
except for documenting the issue.

KDE used to provide applications with a default shortcut to hide / show the 
menubar. This was Ctrl+M, IIRC. Using KDE 4.7.4, I don't see the feature in 
RKWard anymore, so I guess it was deactivated in kdelibs (for good reasons).

The main config file is
   ~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc
shortcuts and toolbars have configuration files in the dir
   ~/.kde/share/apps/rkward

Documentation is provided in the regular R way. I.e. try e.g.
   ?rkward
   ?rk.edit
on the console, or search for topics in the "Help search" tool window. Also, 
you can configure your "Workspace" tool window to "Show all environments", then 
browse the environment "package:rkward". Help for individual functions is 
accessible from the context menu as "Search Help".

The source code is shipped inside the rkward source distribution / our SVN 
repository in the directory rkward/rbackend/rpackages/rkward.

Hm, too bad. Please let us know, if you have any further ideas / observations 
on this.
