Ok, I still did not manage to connect to a UI session, but I checked this on 
the command line:

R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows"
Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0/x86_64 (64-bit)
[...]

[1] "source"

So this is the culprit, indeed. I suppose, it's because it's an x11 build of 
R, technically. I have now added an option to control the packages type in 
rkward. I've put it on Settings->Configure RKWard->R-Packages instead of the 
installation dialog, since I don't think most users will want to touch it. I 
have not tested this patch on Windows or Mac, yet (and on Unix, the option is 
not configurable).

Meik, could you test this on Mac?

Regards
Thomas
