> I can now start rkward from the terminal, which is great. I can't open it using the icon in the k menu though - it just opens the old version

If that is the case you should be able to copy-paste the command you use in the terminal into the menu. To edit menu (ubuntu) right-click on the 'applications' menu and choose 'Edit Menus' (it may take a while to open) browse to the icon right-click and choose 'Properties' and change the 'command' field.
