You can install and use "xwit" to modify the R graphics window after it has
been created.  To modify all open X11 graphics devices:
R> system("xwit -name 'Hello world' -names 'R Graphics'")

If you need to specify just the current device:
R> system(paste("xwit -name 'Hello world' -names 'R Graphics: Device ",
+               dev.cur(), "'", sep=""))

I use "xwit" to move the window where I like it (-move option), and it can do
other things as well.  Download it from <ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/>.
