[R-SIG-Mac] R GUI issues

[Luca Scrucca]

Dear R-Mac users,

I have a couple of problems and I haven't been able to find any useful  
hint in the available documentation or in the archive of this mailing  
list.
1) I set options("width=79") in my ~/.Rprofile file, together with  
other settings. Running the R Gui the latter are set as expected, but  
width is different from the desired 79 value. Starting from terminal  
the width is correctly set at 79. Playing around a little bit I  
realized that if I resize the R Gui and close the application, when I  
restart R Gui the options("width") is different from the previous  
value. It seems it is dynamically set depending on the width of the R  
Gui window. However, this value is always much smaller than the  
potential number of characters in a row.
2) In Preferences I selected to open the quartz device on the top  
left, but any quartz window open at the bottom right. Actually, no  
matter which location I choose the device is always open at the bottom  
right.

Thanks a lot for any hint.

Luca
