[R] strange error message from freedesktop.org in the R window!
Almost continuously I get some variant of the following message fillingb up my R console:> bubble(data1, "logvol") > ?variogram** (evince:2799): WARNING **: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Unable to set metadata key ** (evince:2799): WARNING **: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Unable to set metadata key ?variogram>and once it hang up and I had to restart the computer. This is R-2.11.1 compiled by myself on ubuntu 10.04 (but this mail is sent from an windows machine because of some internet probs on my linux machine). I havent'done anything special in the compilation of R, but I have done one chasnge of configuration of ubuntu (probably gnome) which can (or cannot) be relevant. because of some annoying problems with emacs 23, I went to System---Preferences---Appearnace and choose "Theme"Clearlooks" (which also is better on my eyesighy) and " Visual effects" none. This in effect turns of the nvidia driver, and seems to keep emacs 23 hqappy. But why this strange Freedesktop.org messages above? --- Whivh repeat with an annoying freequency. \ Thanksd Kjetil Halvorsen
