Rcmdr X11 protocol error message

Dear Peter and Michael,

I installed Quantian on  a spare machine that I have and observed the same
warning messages that Michael has been reporting. These (and the problem
with help files but not with viewing data sets that Peter reported) occurred
with version 0.9-11 of Rcmdr but not with an earlier version.

Since the code for the Rcmdr package was substantially reworked this summer,
that seems to me a good candidate for the source of these problems, though I
don't see why the changes should be problematic. I'm afraid that I'm
insufficiently familiar with the inner workings of X11 and Tcl/Tk to be much
help in figuring out what's wrong. Everything seems to work fine under
Windows, as far as I can tell.

It occurs to me that if the warning messages are benign, one approach would
be to suppress them. I already intercept warnings and present them in dialog
boxes; I could grep for "X11 protocol error" and simply ignore these. That
doesn't seem to me a good solution, however. It would be better to
understand what's happening.

I'm copying this message to Dirk since he's mentioned that he plans to put
the newer Rcmdr in Quantian. Dirk: Have you tested with Rcmdr 0.9-11?

Thank you.
 John
