I was talking about what needs to be done in RKWard itself. There, we have 
some platform-specific code (for X11 and Windows, so far) to detect and 
"swallow" the R screen graphics device windows. That's basically the one area 
that needs porting. Anyway, this is getting quite technical, so if you would 
like to continue, here, please take the discussion to rkward-devel, instead of 
rkward-users.

RKWard does rely on KDE, and I wouldn't claim porting KDE is "not too hard", 
but others have already done that (http://mac.kde.org). Can't comment on the 
quality of that port, and how hard or easy it is to install.
