Yes - still a little bit big (most are usually not bigger than 50K, but some exceptions hav 80..100K), but much better than 2M and sufficient IMHO, too. Installed the package (see http://dev.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/lnf/i386/R/LNFr-desktop/ ) -> looks ok in the GNOME menu and nautilus. If you want to test it yourself on Linux or Solaris (procedure is the same for freedesktops aka Solaris and Linux ;-)), copy the 3 files to the same location and call update-desktop-database ; update-mime-database $instdir/share/mime Than the menu entries appear immediately in the GNOME application menu (nautilus needs to be restarted to get the "news" aka icon displayed for *.R). Currently the last thing I'm thinking about is: "with '-g Tk' start Rcmdr if available, otherwise tkStartGUI()". Would you mind to integrate that into the official R tree? I know, its more or less easy to modify library/tcltk/exec/Tk-frontend.R, however admins as well as package creators/maintainers don't like, when one package modifies the content of another one and have to keep track of changes, i.e. need to do more or less "sophisticated" things, when they get removed ...
