I installed

Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)


only yesterday and Tk is working again. note, though, that this is the 
X11 version, i.e. the Tk widgets pop up only if the X-server is running.

if one of the 'informed' guys is reading this by some chance, two questions:

1.
is their a canonical way to avoid installing Tk again (in the 
R.framework??) and to use, instead, an already existing Tk? this was 
beyond me during the last releases (where Tk actually did'nt work with 
R, though it was running perfectly with other apps).

2.
would it be possible to use a OSX native (aqua) Tk lib as an alternative 
to the X11 one? if yes, how?
