Hi,

I am using OS X 10.8 and have XQuartz installed. I can still reproduce the
errors. Do you think R for mac will correct that problem?

To make the problem clear again, if you click the "startup" under the top
bar (below the "General"), the problem comes out; while if you directly
click on Startup on the bar menu, it is fine.


Thanks,

Weiwei
