When starting emacs as `emacs --daemon', inferior *R* processes can no
longer connect to X11 to produce displays.  This seems like more of a
bug with the daemon, but I wasn't sure who to report *that* to.

Here's a minimal example:

> x <- 1
> plot(x)
Error in .External2(C_X11, d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize,  : 
  unable to start device X11
In addition: Warning message:
In (function (display = "", width, height, pointsize, gamma, bg,  :
  unable to open connection to X11 display ''
