<<insert bug report here>>
There are two bugs associated with graphics devices.
One new, one old.

1. The new one.

When I include
 trellis.device()
in my .First, Rterm 1.8.1 run in ESS happily opens a device.

Rterm 1.9.0 doesn't.  It gives the following message instead:
2. The old one.

When no device has been opened, then q() cleanly closes R.
When a graphics device has been opened, and either is still open or was
manually closed, then q() hangs.  I need to kill it from the Windows Task
Manager.

Hm, I don't think I've ever seen that under NT4 or win2k at work. I use
Rterm in ESS as well as Rgui, and close it frequently with open graphics
devices.

Could that have something to do with your particular graphics card, or with
XP home?  What windows variants do you use?
