... or do it in .First.  Here's mine, for example:

.First <- function () {
    options(width = 65, length = 99999, editor = "emacs -nw", 
        contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly"), 
        printcmd = "psprint -")
    if (exists(".Dyn.libs")) remove(".Dyn.libs")  # <-----------
    if (interactive() && getenv("DISPLAY") != "") x11()
}

but it really should not be necessary.  Is the flaw and its fix
now understood?
