the latter could be conditionalized such that it would only
happen when ESS is started, 
by adding something like the following

(add-hook
  'inferior-ess-mode-hook
  '(lambda()
    (if (not xemacs-p)
	(server-start nil))))

[which is simplified version of what we have been doing here
 locally, for quite some time.]
