[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 13.09 [svn: 5778 (2013-09-27)]; must start graphics on mac explicitly

[Sam Steingold]

Hi
When I run R from the command line, `plot(1:10,1:10)` works just fine.
Under ESS any plot command results in R exiting:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> > options(STERM='iESS', str.dendrogram.last="'", editor='emacsclient', show.error.locations=TRUE)
> plot(1:10,1:10)

Process R finished at Thu Nov  7 11:47:45 2013
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, if I explicitly call quartz to start the graphics, it works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> > options(STERM='iESS', str.dendrogram.last="'", editor='emacsclient', show.error.locations=TRUE)
> quartz()
> plot(1:10,1:10)
> q()

Process R finished at Thu Nov  7 11:56:53 2013
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Since quartz() function creates a new window, adding it to
inferior-S-language-start (even if it were easy!) is not really an
option.

However, since the command line R works just fine, I suspect that this
is a bug in the way ESS invokes R.
(inferior-R-args is "--no-save")
