4. Exit Gifi Gnome problem

2 messages · Joseph Kunkel, Jan de Leeuw

Following from R-Sig-Mac digest #238 ...
I installed R as suggested in R.pdf "4. Exit Gifi".
On starting R with

R --gui=gnome

The system works reasonably but demo(graph) plots several demo graphs 
and their labeling off its window and the problem can not be cured by 
simple resizing the screen.  This is only a bug when using gnome.  When 
using the regular Xterm invocation of R all demo(graphs) behave as they 
should.

I assume this is a problem with gnome?  Is this problem catalogued and 
solved yet?

Confirmed. It is not your version of R or environment or the window  
manager
(happens in OroborOSX, sawfish, blackbox). So it must be R-gnome, or
gnome from fink, or gnome itself. Would be good if it could be  
verified/falsified
on other gnome systems.
