Ubuntu 7.10, 
rkward 0.4.9pre1, 
KDE 3.5.8

I'm experiencing some apparent problems with dialogs, I don't know if it has
to do with Ubuntu or if it perhaps is related to the compilation process (ie.
whether I may have wrong libraries installed)
The specific situation:
I want to install new packages via the 'settings' menu and it goes as follows:
'Settings' > 'Configure Packages'
Select 'Install' tab
'Install packages to' points to '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' which needs
root to access.
Click the 'Fetch list' button
This triggers two dialog boxes:the Select CRAN mirror dialog and one with the
title 'Fetching list' After a moment a text in red says: 'There have been errors
and / or warnings! See below for a transcript'.
Two problems here:
1) This dialog is so small that buttons are not visible - you have to resize
it to get to the buttons.
2) The error/warning (colored red) seems to be 'Loading Tcl/Tk interface ...
done' - is this an error/warning?
This also occurred under ubuntu 7.04

I select a mirror, the package list is downloaded, I select a package to install
and is greeted with the dialog 'Selected library location is not writable -
RKWard'
I click the button 'Become root'
A dialog 'Installing packages' appears but no dialog to enter root password
shows - this did work under ubuntu 7.04..

I sort of solved this by installing to a folder that doesn't need root.
