I do not realy care about 5", 8" or 20", I use it when I devellop, I 
will remove it for the final package.
I just want the two windows to not be one on the top of the other. I do 
not care if one in on right, the other left, or one at the top of the 
screen, the other at the bottom...

I am using R 2.7 but I do not manage to deal with X11 and xpos :
X11(xpos=0) give an error
windows.options(xpos=0) ; X11() open a windows but it does not change 
the place.
Am I misunderstanding something ?
