Dirk, What version of GNOME are you running this under and what version of gcc? It dawned on me (sorry) that I should have tried this under GNOME here earlier and not just under XFCE4, given that there could be a bug in the latter, even though they both use the same gtk libs. However, I just logged out of XFCE4 and into GNOME, which as I mentioned earlier, is version 2.6 here under FC2. gcc --version here is: gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7) Unfortunately, the behavior under GNOME is the same as under XFCE4, which is that R with the GNOME GUI exits if run from the "Run Application" applet on the GNOME menu or from a launcher created on the GNOME panel. It does stay if run from gnome-terminal as earlier. Glad to hear that it is working on your end.
