Dear R-help,

I recently upgraded from R 2.13.1 to R 2.14.2 and now get warning
messages when plotting after using x11(). Example:

plot(rnorm(10))    ### no warnings

x11(); plot(rnorm(10))
Warning messages:
1: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :

plot(rnorm(10))    ### After using x11(), I get warnings even when x11() is not 
used
There were 18 warnings (use warnings() to see them)

This happens in both the 32 and 64 bit versions of R 2.14.2, and it
also happens with ggplot2 plots. I'm using RGui on Windows 7. It did
not happen with R 2.13.1.

It's not a major problem, because the plots still appear to be
produced correctly, but if anyone can tell me how to fix it, I'd
appreciate it.

Use dev.new() rather than x11(). Under Windows, there is a windows() device but no x11() device. R tries hard to work around your user error (calling x11() under Windows).
