[R-SIG-Mac] Warning in Rattle: ( R:2190): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local directory monitor type

[Richard R. Liu]

Hi,

I've reported the following error to Graham Williams, the author/ 
maintainer of Rattle:

	I am running Rattle 2.5.24 under R 2.10.1 patched on a MacBook Pro  
with OS X 10.5.8.  I have installed
	it successfully and it is giving good results; however, from time to  
time when I click the Execute button
	I receive this message on the R console:

	(R:2190): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local directory  
monitor type

	What does this mean, and how can I solve the problem?  I also cannot  
print a graphic using the Print
	button at the bottom.  I see a message at the bottom of the Rattle  
window that it is printing to lpr, but
	nothing happens.  I am connected to a network printer.

He replied:

	I don't have any experience running on the Mac and don;t know what  
the "monitor" refers to. I think it relates to the file
	chooser.

	The printing is a separate problem. Do you have a command line lpr  
command? Any idea how you might usually print from R on the
	Mac? I may need to fix Rattle for printing on the Mac.

Perhaps somebody with more experiencing running R or Rattle on a Mac  
can help?  The Gtk error message does indeed seem to have something to  
do with the file chooser.

Thanks,
Richard
