Subject: [Rd] default symbol in plots changed in R-Devel for windows

This is a known transitory bug, which I found late yesterday.  You'll find
R_ALPHA at one place in your devga.c.  Change it to R_OPAQUE.

We've been having some problems as a result of extensive graphics changes
from Paul.  If tonight's snapshot works correctly, it will have this fixed.
