The problem bit me a couple of times on r2.2+ builds on redhat/centos 
4.x machines where the default us.utf8 lang setting seems to make R 
unhappy about loading X - I kludged a workaround by setting LANG=en.us
in my shell to get rid of the utf stuff which I don't understand enough 
to fix properly.
