Summary: growing input windows

Initial Comment:
i've just discovered a small display bug in 0.5.2: calling "readline()" makes rkward come up with an input window -- that's fine. but if you invoke "readline()" several times, these windows grow in size each time, horizontally as well as vertically.

see for yourself:
a) type "readline()" in the R-konsole repeatedly
b) try a "for" loop:
   for(i in c(1:5)) readline()
c) try with "lapply":
   lapply(c(1:5), readline)
...

in addition, the context segment of that window could probably be tuned a little, try this:

  for(i in c(1:5)){
    cat(i) # just to provoke the context display
    readline()
  }

to me it's a little confusing to have both segments shown with the same style. e.g., would it help to do without the white background for the context output? the window could be a lot smaller as well, but this is probably due to the growing effect described above.
