Drama printing /// drama graphing

[Mayeul KAUFFMANN]

I have *NO* problem printing from the graphic window.

I have windows 2000 pro, service pack 4
R 1.9.0 patched
XEmacs 21.4.13 "Rational FORTRAN" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
ESS 5.1.21  (not absoultely  sure about ess version. I foud a file
"version.texi" with "@macro essver{} 5.1.21 @end macro" in it.)

By the way, all the buttons and R menu created through Fox config work
well.

This discussion on drama printing let me thing that I may not be alone on
the following problem. Or maybe it's an R bug.

But... I sometimes have problem with the graphic window with ess. The
drawings sometimes show up both in the window and elsewhere in the screen
(with a white background). It may show up while I'm working with a word
processor and scroll the WP window. It almost always freeze the system
tray and make the windows "Start/Programs" menu not usable. The only
escape is then to reboot 8'-(
I appears while I work during several hours with R+ESS, and I never work
several hours without ESS, so I cannot compare.

Hint: I use dual monitor. I almost always display R graph on the left
monitor. The primary monitor is on the right. Thus left monitor get
negative absolute positions, I think.
