that's nice to read :-)

i've just tried a few possible workarounds, but nothing worked so far.

RKWard replaces q() with a custom function, which calls

  .rk.do.plain.call("quit")

since the above call currently ignores all arguments given to q(), calling it 
with 'save="no"' has no effect, which in turn invalidates workarounds like 
changing the default formals of q(). i also didn't manage to start RKWard with 
R interpreting the "--no-save" option (e.g., by using an alias).

i think the best approach here would be to actually evaluate q()'s "save" 
argument.

@thomas: does RKWard's closing dialog already support further arguments, so 
that replacing the R functions q()/quit() would be sufficient?
