No, gtkDevice is deprecated as is the old R GUI for Gtk v1. That's why
I asked for it to be removed from Debian. 

You are much better off with the newer, better, fancier, ... RGtk2 and
its cousin cairoDevice. I maintain both as a Debian package, and
Ubuntu appears to have versions 2.8.5 + 1.0.0 (a little behind Debian)
in the universe repo too. So apt-get install away, or rebuild from
CRAN sources.
