[R] How to repress the annoying complains from X window system

[John Fox]

Dear Brian and Adrian,

Brian: Thanks for pointing out that the messages are not the same as
the warnings that were produced prior to R 2.4.0.

Adrian: If the problem reoccurs with a predictable error message,
please let me know; I'll then alter the Rcmdr code to intercept the Tk
messages as well.

Regards,
 John
