Subject: [R] Odd graphic device behavior

I'm experiencing odd graphics device behavior running R 2.15.3 on Ubuntu.
Regardless of what I try like:

require(stats)
plot(cars)
lines(lowess(cars))
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)

for example, the graphics device fills the entire screen with the graphic
and a very large font. When I shrink the graphics device window, the
lettering remains large and the line thicknesses stay quite thick. It may
have been some time since I have done any R work on my Ubuntu computer,
but
clearly this did not happen previously.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you,
Tom
