[R] R 2.12.0 for Windows: error when loading (some) packages

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

I get exactly the same error with package 'RWinEdt' -- though in 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/ReadMe it is 
mentioned that this has probably something to do with GUI interactions??

Best,
Dimitris
