Thanks a lot, both to Prof Bates and Prof Fox. I see at least some bits of the light now.
One original question remaines though: Why do all these (22 of them) packages autoload in the first place? I don�t want them to. It must have something to do with the original loading from Rcmdr, as (for example) nlme does *not* autoload by itself no matter how many lme objects there are in a reopened workspace, this is good as far as I am concerned. It is especially strange as Rcmdr itself does not outoload. How do I supress this behavior?
