I removed my current R.app and installed the one at:
http://r.research.att.com/#GUI
R-3.0-branch-snowleopard-signed.pkg

but I still get an immediate crash when I 1) open the preferences
window and 2) click any of the icons in the main "Show All" screen
(but not the tabs)

I also noticed that switching away from either the Color or the Syntax
tab briefly flashes (open then close) the color wheel selection dialog

Is there any other specific information that would help?

Thanks,

I have to confirm both, the crash and the flashing of the colour wheel.

I was just about to tell you guys that have the problem to try running R.app with gdb attached to the process. Then I realized that gdb has gone in Mavericks to be replaced by lldb, which I don't have much of a clue about how to operate....

However, at least the first few steps seem to be similar to using gdb:

Get the process ID for R.app using

Peters-iMac:~ pd$ ps aux | grep R.app
pd              28620   0.1  0.5  3877356  21724   ??  S     1Nov13   0:43.29 /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R
pd              74190   0.0  0.0  2432784    596 s005  S+   11:45AM   0:00.01 grep R.app

Then attach to it using

Peters-iMac:~ pd$ lldb -p 28620

give your password to allow the debugger to control the process, then, when lldb fires up, tell it to resume the process

(lldb) continue
Process 28620 resuming

Next, you should try doing whatever it takes to reproduce the crash, figure out how to get a traceback, and report back to the list.
