Re: R graphics windows freezing

Brian,
I'm using rpy-1.0rc2 with R2.4.1. If I remember it right, we have identical
problem on Windows for earlier version of rpy too - it works fine on Linux
or MacOS. It will be great if you can share your code, we may incorporate
it in future revision of the opus document.

Thanks,
Liming.
