What are stdin/stdout/stderr connected to when you do that? R --gui=GNOME
does write certain error messages (from GDK/GTK) to the controlling
terminal so you may need one, at least if there is an error/warning.
I see gnome_start in src/modules/gnome/system.c has
R_Interactive = isatty(0);
I would think that was blind copying. Please see if setting it to 1
helps.
