Thanks, Peter.
I did the following: restart R and run the same code with and without a minimal
system pause (Sys.sleep) after the line that adds the device to the GTK window.
Adding a pause will make it work, though I do not understand what is happening
here. Note the different settings of par("din").
This is probably not the expected behavior, I guess.
Any ideas why this is the case? It seems as if "din" is not adjusted on time?
Might that be?
