You should be able to select which scheduler to use in Scheduler column in the 
Schedule view.
If you don't have a "RCPS Scheduler" entry there something isn't right.
A possibility is that sycoca hasn't picked up the plugin desktop file. You can 
test that by running:
kbuildsycoca4
kplato&
from a terminal.

Sorry, no docs, the only implementation is the rcps plugin. You can find the 
source in kplato/plugins/schedulers/rcps.

The existing rcps plugin is c++, I don't know how difficult it would be to 
interface a scripting language.

Note that headers for the needed kplato libraries are not installed as they 
are not in a shape for third party development.
