I'm digging on a past message, where you said that message was fixed in R
2.4.0.
However, I'm using R 2.7.1 (under Kubuntu Hardy Heron, with tcl and tk
version 8.4) and still experience the same message with Rcmdr.
For reproduction, this happens when using (before loading Rcmdr):
options(Rcmdr=list(console.output=TRUE)).

In addition to this error message, I also get sometimes this one (repeated
17 times at once):

Warning in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class
= "tclObj") :
  X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
