I did read the logs, but calls for testing features are one of those things 
that often "can be done later", and then I forget about it.

As an experiment, I have set up a new tracker 
(https://sourceforge.net/p/rkward/testing/) where we could keep track of 
requests for testing. I guess for actual discussion of features / layout, the 
list is still the best place, but I feel it may help our collective memory of 
what still needs testing.

Feel free to toy with the tracker's administrative settings (categories, 
etc.), if you like.

I tried exporting a simple plot(rnorm(100)). Worked fine for me.

Hm, as far as I can see, there is not much overlap (none?) with ps/pdf/gs-
options. So that might point to a new tab. OTOH, we might consider renaming 
the tab to "Device specific options" or something, and switch the tab's 
contents between .tex and .ps related options, dynamically.
