[R] Error with 1.9.0 - winMenuAdd not usable in .Rprofile

[Brian.J.GREGOR@odot.state.or.us]

I had this problem too. The documentation for the winMenus says that these
functions are part of the utils package. R must be loading this library
after it sources in Rprofile. If you add library(utils) to the beginning of
your .First function, it should take care of the problem.
