[BioC] Getting LimmaGUI to run

[chris umbricht]

Rob,

thanks for your feedback, and I do understand your directions, i.e. I 
think I will be able to navigate this X11 dependency with your 
suggestions.

I was trying to give Stefano some feedback, since he is heavily 
involved in developing the OS X version of R.App, and I'm trying to 
distinguish between my misunderstanding some elements of the GUI vs 
having a corrupted installation. It seems to me that having to delete 
the .RData file from the terminal should not be necessary as routine 
measure...

I'm hoping he will chime in, since he asked me for more details 
earlier, but I'm not sure what he needs.
