right, now that you point me to it, that looks ridiculous ;-) i'll try to keep 
the "roles" frame but discard the other two.

reducing the height could work this time, but not be a generic solution. maybe 
addressing the scrolling isn't the right starting point. shouldn't the 
optionset window just be high enough to show the full set, header and add 
button, by default?

whatever, i don't think this is a big problem anyway. it just wasn't too 
obvious to me.

hm, mixing them together is probably not so helpful. in fact, the plugin 
skeleton code is most likely not executable at all, because it doesn't contain 
any dialog objects yet. its main aim is to provide code for copy&paste to get 
started with your own rkwarddev script. if i could i would remove the submit 
button from it ;-) and have it use rk.local() instead of local() by default. 
may i should rename the menu entry into "create RKWard plugin script".

so, making things embeddable would be preferable. that way, i'd also hope to 
finally understand how to do that :-D

allthough i'd never use the dialog, because personally i find the standard 
package.skeleton() functionality way too limited to be useful. it only gets 
you started, then you're lost from there on. i've been busy on this one:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unDocUMeantIt/roxyPackage/develop/inst/rkward/rkwarddev_roxyPackage_plugin_script.R
it's not finished yet, but similar to the plugin skeleton dialog, the 
generated script code can be used not only to turn your functions into a 
proper package, but also to maintain the package in the future and take care 
of all necessary updates for new releases. unfortunately, the package is not 
on CRAN...
