This is a question about running R in an X-windows environment on the Mac. I haven't yet "upgraded" to Apple's X11, and am still using the Xfree86/XDarwin setup, which worked fine with R up to and including 1.7.1. With the new R 1.8.0 (the binary RAqua from CRAN), though, I get the following problem: > library(tcltk) > kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowType: Invalid window kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowType: Invalid window Is this because R now tries to draw Aqua-based Tk windows rather than X11 ones? or something else? I'd welcome any hints before I spend time experimenting. Thanks, David
R and XDarwin -- should tcltk still work?

David, I've checked in my config. Package tcltk should load quietly under X11 even when if configured to used aqua TclTk, but when you try to access the tcltk GUI you should come to a bus error. stefano
