thanks for your answer Dirk!

Well the fact is that I have the same problem on my computer at home... 
which has the same configuration (R 2.11 with Ubuntu 9.10). I feel the 
problem come actually from revolution-r.

I realized indeed that I have the same problem using emacs, but not 
using another Gui Rkward... When starting emacs or console R, I have:
 >ls()
[1] "hasRevoR" "ow"       "quiet"  
 > quiet
[1] FALSE
 > hasRevoR
[1] TRUE
 > ow
$warn
[1] 0
 >sdkfjh


$show.error.messages
[1] TRUE

While in rkward:
 >ls()
[1] "quiet"

quiet
[1] TRUE
 >dgh
Erreur : objet 'dgh' introuvable

And indeed, removing revo-r
sudo apt-get remove r-revolution-revobase

resolved my problem... And the other problem mentioned (R CMD BATCH does 
not work) seems to have been solved also!

Should I make a bug report? On launchpad?

Thanks
