[R] Potential minor GUI bug

[Francisco J. Zagmutt]

Dear Any

Thanks for your response.  Maybe I did not explain the behavior well.  I am 
aware that the "Not Responding" is a windows default.  What I was trying to 
explain is that once the process that generated the Not Responding is 
finished and I can use R for othe computations the "Not Responding" caption 
will remain in the task bar icon but not in the caption on the main Gui 
form.  Please see the attached screen caption for an example.

Regards

Francisco
