 Ok, so the plot window is too high to fit into the available space at all.
 If
 the toolbar would be hidden, the window would probably fit, but of course
 hiding the toolbar by default is not a good solution. As far as I can see,
 the
 icons are as small as possible, already, and turning off the text labels
 would
 save width, but not height.



 a print scrren of my problem. Basically, just plotting on rkward
 0.4.5-test5 (KDE 4.4.2), I can/t see the xlab, nor am I able to resize
 the window,as the lower right part is not accessible. But maybe I am
 just stupid and there is an obvious way to solve this in general?


 Well, the size of the plot window can be controlled in R. See ?x11. To use a
 smaller size by default, you can run
X11.options (width=5, height=5)
 (width and height need to be specified in inches). I suppose we could offer
 a
 graphical option for this in the settings, but it's a bit tricky, since it
 will need some platform-specific code. So not before 0.5.4 is released, at
 least.


 oh that's a pitty! I tried on my laptop with newest version (Ubuntu 10.4,and
 rkward 4.4.2) , and the problem is still there! Would be great if this could
 avoided in next release (just by default reduce window size?) as this
 correspond in some way for me to a regression in rkward features!

 thanks!

I see that Thomas has added a new settings in Configure  Onscreen
device. Can you try the svn code if it helps?

@ Thomas: the width and height are declared as 'int'. By choice? I
don't mind it, I am just curious.

 Yeah, the lattice plots are tracked through trellis.last.object () and

 I changed the test a bit more, but only to make it easier to read, not
 changing any of the logic (I think). I still get a mismatch the first time a
 trellis plot (plots[[2]]) is checked.

I tried it twice now. Didn't see any mismatch.. But I'll keep an eye on it.

 If possible, I'd like to get rid of rk.activate.device() before the release.
 I.e. could you implement the wrapper around dev.set(), instead, as discussed?
 I suppose this will require replacing dev.set() with .rk.dev.set.default()
 at some places in the history-implementation, but I'm not quite sure, where,
 and where not.

I'll try to fix that soon-ish.

Btw, I see that you have moved the settings. But the old ones are
still there! I didn't remove them, in case you kept them for some
testing purposes!

Interesting. I keep getting this:

mark 1
Current plot does not match with plots[[2]]
mark 2
mark 3
mark 4
mark 5
mark 6
mark 7
mark 8
mark 8a
mark 9

R 2.11.1, lattice 0.18-3

 Btw, I see that you have moved the settings. But the old ones are

In fact, I simply forgot to remove the old ones. I did that now, and also 
changed the width and height settings to allow decimal places.

I've also added a bit of logic that tries to detect when the window is too 
large to fit on screen, and points to the settings in this case. This should be 
available in the next daily builds. Perhaps you can give that a try, to see 
whether the message is shown for you (and of course whether the new settings 
work for you).

Making the windows smaller by default is not really a satisfying alternative. 
Whether the window is too large or too small depends on a lot of factors, 
including your screen resolution, what the X-server believes to be the 
physical size of your display, and user settings such as the location and size 
of your task bar, etc. So what's too large for you is just right for another, 
and already too small for a third user. And the more we shrink the window by 
default (at least in width), the more likely we are to run into problems with 
some of the toolbar icons dropping off to the right, on other users screens.
 
 @ Thomas: the width and height are declared as 'int'. By choice? I
 don't mind it, I am just curious.

I simply didn't think about it. Changed in SVN.

On my end, R 2.11.1 and lattice 0.19-11 (r-cran-lattice form deb
repo). Before upgrading lattice, could you try to remove rkward and
then re-install

Rscript -e remove.packages ('rkward')
make install

and see if it helps?

no difference.

After upgrading lattice, I get your result. Now I had not backed up the old 
lattice, but I still had 0.17-25, too. I tried that, and get the same mismatch 
again. *However*, the visible result is correct (i.e. device 2 displays 
xyplot(2~2)). So perhaps it's just a problem specifically with 
trellis.last.object()? I don't know if / where this could cause real 
problems in your code.

Regards
Thomas

P.S.: If you want to make extra sure everybody tracking SVN is using the 
correct version of the package, you can use
  scripts/set_dist_version.sh
to increase the version counter (use
  scripts/getversion.sh
to see the current string). Then any user who doesn't do make install, or for 
whom make install fails, will see a message about that when starting rkward. 
Usually, I only increase the version before announcing a test-release, 
however.
