Hi Rodrigo,

I think it's related to the latest changes of X11() in R 2.7.X. Though graphs
look now nicer (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-1.pdf p.51)this 
issue raised for RKWard. I think Thomas (Lead developer) 
is the only who can comment and fix this issue.
To my knowledge a workaround is to downgrade R to 2.6.X but there is no 
garante that this will work. But you can also ignore the warning message.

Kind regards
Stefan
