[rkward-devel] run again link outside RKWard

hi,

i was curious if it was possible to get the run again links work also outside 
of RKWard (e.g., open the output HTML file in your browser). i managed to fire 
up RKWard, at least, by creating the file 
 /usr/share/kde4/services/rkward.protocol:

<snip>
[Protocol]
exec=rkward
protocol=rkward
input=none  
output=none
copyToFile=false
copyFromFile=false
listing=false
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false
moving=false
Icon=RKWard
maxInstances=1
</snip>

but i'm also granted with an error message that it was impossible to open 
$HOME/rkward (?). anyway, currently rkward is not equipped to directly take 
such a link as input, so this cannot work, right? and even if it did, it would 
probably launch a new instance of RKWard instead of using a running one. most 
*.protocol definitions use some KIO slave.

the reason i was trying this is that i'll do an RKWard presentation at another 
university tomorrow, and it would have been so cool if it was possible to have 
these links in your presentation, instead of showing screenshots. but it would 
also be great for various other things, like shortcuts on your desktop, or 
sending pre-filled dialogs to students (or to this list, for debugging).
