Hi,

3) I look closely to Rpy, which seems to work well (but 

it needs to 

be recompiled for every R version, and it does not provide a 
solution by itself neither for the graphical toolkit, nor for the 
IDE),

What about using pythons gtk bindings together with Rpy? Build 
apropriate gtk app and then bridge it with R using Rpy.  I 

do not know 

about portability though. It will certainly run on linux, but there 
could be some issues with Windows.

Just for the record, we have  direct Gtk bindings from R to 
Gtk. So there is no need to complicate matters introducing an 
intermediate layer, RPy and Python.

I have been looking at upgrading the packages to support Gtk2.*
