[R-SIG-Mac] Crash when closing R-GUI

[Rob J Goedman]

Matt,

Good. In your plist save.on.exit was indeed set to NO which gave some  
problems on
my system as well.

I do have a version with the 'save.on.exit' feature added to the  
startup pref panel. It also
makes sure the history is saved properly if yes or no is selected.

I'll commit it asap (would like to try it on a few other machines).

Rob
