Dear r-devel list members, As Adrian is aware, I've observed the same behaviour in R 2.6.0, in my case under Ubuntu Gutsy. It's my impression that the slowness of dialogs to display is true more generally of tcltk windows, but is particularly apparent for the main Rcmdr window because, I suspect, of its complexity.
Since I'd like to insure that the Rcmdr works reasonably well under Linux systems, it would help to know the source of the problem.
