Hi Martin,
Depending upon what device parameters you want to set, you can write a
wrapper for the device call that includes the parameters:
my.x11<-function() {
x11(family="sans",font=2)
}
Then just call the wrapper instead of the device function. You could
make a little package with all of the devices you wish to use and just
load the package at the beginning of your R session.
