When I use R through the (D)Com server on windows (A CRAN package which turns R into a COM server), the main R window is invisble. However when a package is loaded that creates a menu-item for its vignette, an empty R window is created with Graphics as window title and 'Vignettes' as its only main menu-item. This window can be closed without consequence, but it's somewhat ugly to see it appearing. In the past I did some half-hearted attempt to see if I can detect whether R was started as a COM server. Because I did not succeed doing that I didn't go any further in trying to suppress the addition of menu-items at the time.
