Well, what if we could add the following to .First.lib () for rkward,
as an interim solution?
if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows") setwd (Sys.getenv ("HOME"))
Sys.getenv () will work on any windows variant... And, I checked, it
works on XP, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2007 with native R (no
KDE). So, I think this is doable. Currently I've added that line
manually to the end of .First.lib () in
RKWard/R/library/rkward/R/rkward
If I add the following to Rprofile.site:
.First <- function () if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows") setwd
(Sys.getenv ("HOME"))
Then, Rterm.exe honors it but RKWard does not.

I see, so the PHP Backend option in settings is just a "safe-guard".
