I noticed something in R --help that needs updating for R 2.1.0
In the changes documentation for R 2.1.0:
o BATCH on Unix no longer sets --gui="none" as the X11 module
is only loaded if needed.
But --gui=none is still documented as acceptable in R --help
[39]% R --version
R 2.1.0 (2005-04-18).

[40]% R --help
[ output omitted, until]
-g, --gui=TYPE Use TYPE as GUI; possible values are 'X11'
(default), 'none', 'Tk' and
'gnome'
but,
[41]% R --gui=none
ERROR: unknown GUI none
