Re: [R] Installing gWidgetsRGtk2: R session is headless

Michael, thanks, that was it! I had installed the packages as root and tried them out as root (not a good idea I know, but I was lazy), while running the the X11 display as user. Worse is that I have done that many times. One more thing learned. Thanks again, Rainer On Thursday 23 October 2014
