I also like the function very much, but I get an annoying error when starting 
R or when installing a new package:

Error in rm(.xthelp) : cannot remove variables from base namespace

I assume it has something to do with my bash shell, but I have no idea what to 
do. I run I inside Kubuntu 5.10 Breezy (compiled from source).
