duly installed.)
I notice the following at http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
"
OS-X Software Updates have included some of the work done by this
project, but for various reasons, Apple cannot ship the latest and
greatest version offered by this site. Since our package clobbers
Apple's X11.app, their SU will clobber ours. Because of this, you
may experience conflicts after doing a Software Update from Apple.
It is suggested that you install the latest XQuartz release after
installing an update to OS-X Leopard.

I am running OSX 10.7.3 (Lion). I have not had any issues with
conflicts of which I am aware.

FWIW, I can get a similar problem with x11 but I have long-standing
troubles with my X11 install that I've never bothered to track down
so
I'm not the best test case.
I just tried it on my laptop which has the "old style" x11 installed,
the one whose icons on the Dock is the plain white one with a grey X,
and which labels itself XQuartz 2.1.6 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple33).
I'm unable to get it to "hang" except for the fact that when the
window opens, the focus is shifted to that window and typing causes no
response until one clicks back into the (GUI) console. Repeated
invocations of x11() without plotting do not cause R to "hang". So I
guess my only contribution is that an older version of OSX and X11
does not necessary cause this problem. And I would request a better
decription of "hang" on Mr Love's part.

Hello R users,
Using x11() command, I was able to create a new (2nd) plot window.
However,
I was not able to create another (3rd) plot window as x11() gets
immediately frozen.
Does x11() command only allow 2nd plot window or could it be
related to the
memory capacity limit?
Also, please let me know if there is any alternative way of
opening a new
plot window other than using x(11).
Thanks in advance,
Jason,
