Rkward 0.8.0 + R 4.5.0: Impossible to start R engine?

Hi all,

Since an update of my openSUSE Tumbleweed system, it's impossible to start Rkward. Or, rather, RKward starts, but complain that it impossible to start the R Engine. However, R does start fine, without error and the "Details" button of the error message only contains the R prompt without anything else.

I'm using the "rkward6" and R collection of package from the R:released repository on openSUSE:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:R:released
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:R:released/rkward6

I'm suspecting some kind of new issue created by R 4.5.0, which was newly updated in my batch of updates, so it's a logical suspect.

Before possibly filing a more formal bug report, can someone else on this list confirm having some issue with R 4.5.0? If not, it means I'll have to look for a more peculiar aspect of my own setting for a culprit of this bug.

Cheers,
Pierre
