Minor addition: At least in my version of RKWard (0.6.3 KDE Dev 4.13.3)
there is no visual separator between the "workspace-buttons" (Open,
Create, Save) and the "Object-buttons" which change according to the
active content (e.g. Clip/Copy/… for dataframes or back/forward for
documentation) It is just a small line to add, but this may help users
to predict the results of pressing the toolbar button.

Kind Regards,
