$ apt-get install r-gnome     ## works up until R 2.0.1
$ R --gui=gnome &

That said, as of R 2.1.0, the Gnome UI is no longer shipped with the R
sources. Hence, I no longer provide it in the r-gnome package.  However, the
code is now provided in an add-one package 'gnomeGUI' on CRAN which you could
install directly.

Hope this helps, Dirk
