Which R framework is it? The only place I can think of is
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/base/R/Rprofile
but at least the released 2.0.1 version checks for R.app presence and 
does NOT run that code .... are you sure that you're using the latest 
version of both the R framework and R.app? (that would be R 2.0.1 and R 
GUI 1.01)
