[R] can't get the quartz window to the background

Hello!

The Quartz device only works well when is launched from  R.app. You may 
launch an X Dev (the default when not in R.app) or use R.app. However if 
neither one is a choice, you may use dev.copy() or dev.copy2eps() to save 
your graph.

Regards.
