There are of course certain operations that could be performed more easily with a GUI. For example, if I have a figure on the X-device, doing a right-click on the figure to get a pop-up menu that lets me send it to a postscript device or a different file (blurring the distinction) would be great. But not urgent.
And of course the Windows version already has such things, and replaying of plots and .... The problem I see is that we need to assume a toolkit for X (e.g. Motif) to make programming such things feasible in a finite time. I am working on the feasibility of porting the R for Windows GUI to Motif, and others are looking at other GUI routes.
