[R] R works on Fedora Core 3

[Roger D. Peng]

I've run into this title bar problem on FC1 and FC2 (not tried FC3 
yet) when I compile from sources.  I figured it was just a weird 
window manager bug.  I find that if I maximize the window (Alt-F10, on 
my system) and then restore the window to its original size (Alt-F5), 
I get the title bar back.
