Yes. As I was saying, it doesn't fix things in the device (that must
be done in R), it just enables its interactivity. The old, Carbon
Quartz device is a legacy and has been discontinued around R version
1.8 in favor of the new Quartz device that is used in R.app. It has
not been maintained since, but we're working on a replacement for R
2.5.0.
Cheers,
