In both cases dev.off () worked fine. Note here that Kubuntu 9.10 has KDE 4.3.2 Case 2: Debian/Sid moved to KDE 4.4.3 very recently; so even near the end of April / beginning of May my system had KDE 4.3.y and I hadn't noticed this bug Case 3: Kubuntu 10.04 in a virtualbox; ran stock rkward-0.5.2 against stock R 2.10.2. KDE is 4.4.2 and the bug shows its ugly head ;) On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 6:24 PM, Thomas Friedrichsmeier <thomas.friedrichsme...@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> wrote: > On Monday 21 June 2010, Prasenjit Kapat wrote: >> I do have a wrapper around dev.off: testable as soon as the bug is >> taken care of. > > Ok, then here's an idea for a hack around the bug: Directly before the "real" > dev.off() add > .rk.lock.device <- TRUE > and > .rk.lock.device <- FALSE > directly after.
