[R] problem to load the RGrace package

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Is your RGtk2 up to date?  That is where gladeXMLNew comes from, and it is 
in my copy (2.12.5-3).  Specifically I get

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-20)
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
...
other attached packages:
[1] RGrace_0.6-6    cairoDevice_2.8 RGtk2_2.12.5-3
