Just to be clear.  When you are typing in the R script buffer, NOT the
*R* terminal buffer, then you see tool tips appearing in a minibuffer
when  you start to type commands?  Do you press a key sequence to get
them?

On Linux, I've put (require 'ess-eldoc) in my .emacs file, but I don't
see any effect.  I fear I've made some other change or installed some
other package that breaks it.
