The recommended R package tcltk -- still the only truly cross-platform GUI -- gets to use so-called 'themed' widgets under the 8.5 versions. As these look a lot prettier, R Core sort-of suggests upgrading. As there is no pain and some gain in Debian unstable and testing, it (still) seems like the right call. I am not aware of any conflicts within the tcl/tk world, but I am not a heavy tcl/tk user. I still use Perl/Tk and other things alongside and everybody seems to get along. Maybe I missed what was upsetting Piet...
