Well I guess we have now established that
a) R 3.0.0 and rpy do not work together (your bugreport)
b) disabling Rf_PrintMessage as per my simple patch fixes that
c) somewhat unrelated: launching R-related jobs with xvfb-run helps
when X11 resources are required.
So I think I should apply the patch from b) to fix your bug report from a).
Or am I missing something here?
Dirk
