Hi Jannis [I'm the author of package debug... I know this is 6 months after your query, sorry-- but I don't subscribe to R-help, and you didn't post to the maintainer! I'm primarily sending this to close off the thread.]

This is a long-standing and sporadic problem originating somewhere in the tcltk package, and is covered in the 'debug' documentation. For how to resolve it, look at package?debug and specifically the "Display bugs" section. For an automatic fix, try options( shakeup.debug.windows=TRUE) as a starting point. There are other more desperate measures if that doesn't work.
