Window titles

Is there a means to provide a title for a Quartz window?
When running code that creates lots of plots, it would be
nice to be able to choose the desired window based on its
title rather than attempting to remember the associated
window number. Even better if the Window menu could display
this information as well.

Yes, now introduced in 3244: you can specify the desired name in the  
call to quartz, e.g.
quartz("My Precious Plot")
We have never used the device name, so now we have at least some use  
for it ;). Thanks for the request. Apparently the description for the  
`quartz' command is bogus as well, it is copied form the X11 device  
and the device parameter makes no sense at all. I'll think about some  
more reasonable parameters/description for R-devel.
Yes, the window title and the windows menu are directly linked.

Cheers,
Simon
