Hi Peter:

I have a very similar setup:  Fedora 20 and Emacs 24.3.1.  However, note,
we do not support the development version of emacs; see 
http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#Requirements

Works for me.

Honestly, I have never gotten daemon to work.  With modern X accelerators
like x2go and other nxclient variants that is the way I recommend doing things.

I would stick to released versions of emacs and emacsclient.  If you really
want to debug unreleased versions, then you are on your own.
