(I'm actually on OSX and rel 1.4.1 of R but) it is normal that an 
inactive window is not activated by mouse clicking. Mouse clicking put 
only the windows in front of the others (and it is activated as a 
window  but not as a device). To activate the "device" linked to a 
window you can use the menus, for example, once you have put the window 
in front.

I'll investigate what is happening under OS 9.1 because under OSX I 
cannot reproduce the problem.

thanks for spotting this.
