Follow-up:  Try the following with your example

library(heplots)
hs.mod <- lm(cbind(y1, y2) ~ x1 + x2, data=hs.r)
heplot(hs.mod, fill=TRUE)

uv.mod <- lm(cbind(u1, u2) ~ v1 + v2, data = uv)
heplot(uv.mod, fill=TRUE, asp=1)

In the first plot, x1, x2 are highly correlated, but neither is 
individually significant in predicting y1, y2 by Roy's test.

The second plot is the transformation to canonical space,
where (u1, u2), (v1, v2) are uncorrelated and v1 is a highly
significant predictor of u1.
