Thanks for answering. I didn't even know there GTk2 already ships with 
R. Prof. Brian Ripley linked me to the readme file with recommendations 
with respect to an GTK2 distribution to use:

"What it means is that RGtk2.dll or one of the DLLs it depends on cannot 
be found.  See the instructions at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/@ReadMe "

My R distribution does not seem to have such a directory (standard 
windows R-2.13.0 installer from CRAN)
How do I manage to have this ...\GTk2-runtime\bin directory available?

Thanks a lot,
