First, just an FYI, that this would be better posted to R-SIG-Fedora:

Can you run:

  capabilities()

in a terminal session and see what it shows for X11:

> capabilities()
       jpeg         png        tiff       tcltk         X11        aqua 
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE 
   http/ftp     sockets      libxml        fifo      cledit       iconv 
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE 
        NLS     profmem       cairo         ICU long.double     libcurl 
       TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE        TRUE 


The above is on a Mac, just for clarity.

Did you install R via local compilation or via RPMS from the EPEL? I have not 
looked to see if RPMS are available for the patched version.

Presuming local compilation, I would check your configure and build logs for 
warnings/errors. It is possible that you are missing an X11 header or lib 
someplace.
