[R] package under unix

[Prof Brian Ripley]

X11() is the standard Unix device: see your subject line.  Testing x11() 
under Windows isn't relevant to your subject line (which in any case is 
not helpful -- the posting guide asks you to use informative subject 
lines).

There is no 'R 2.7', and you are explicitly asked in the posting guide not 
to be inaccurate about this.
