[R-SIG-Mac] Strange behavior of R window when switching using Mission Control / Exposé

[Brandon Hurr]

I can confirm this behavior on my mac since at least R 2.11.0, OS X
10.6.8 to 10.9.2. It's been driving me nuts. The window is actually in
the front and you can type in it, but you can't see it until you do
expose a second time or click on the window.
