I don't know as I cannot reproduce it. Could you also please send a  
complete description of you OS X installation? It is always the  
_same_ error? I might guess that this a problem related to the  
loading of the WebKit (Simon)?

R installer, installs one R.Framework in /Library/Frameworks and one  
application R.app in /Applications folder.
So if you remove the framework with something like

cd /Library/Frameworks
sudo rm -rf R.framework

(you need admin pwd) and you sen R.app into the trash, then you have  
completely removed R from your system

this is a different problem: every .pkg install a receipt of what  
installs in the folder /Library/Receipts
For example, in my case I have

R-Framework-ppc.pkg
R-Framework.pkg
R-GUI.pkg

so you should remove these as well if you want to avoid the "update"  
feature of Apple installer

there is no way to clean the R Console window on R.app, Maybe a  
feature request.
