Spooky. What's your Linux distribution? Can you try this: again from R --vanilla, do plot(1:5,1:5) and then from another unix shell do a: xwininfo and click on the plot window. Paste the result back here... And while you're at it, what do you get for the output of 'capabilities()' in R: > capabilities() jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua http/ftp sockets TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE libxml fifo cledit iconv NLS profmem cairo TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE Does it happen if you do X11(type="Xlib") first to get an Xlib graphics device, then compare and contrast with X11(type="cairo") - again, restarting R from a "--vanilla" run every time.
