Hello,
 
I have a basic question about the display() function, but I can't find the answer easily.
 
I am running R 2.7.16.0 on Suse linux 11.0
 with KDE 4.0
 
I have several desktops, that I use at the same time, called Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc. 
I want to open a X11() window in another desktop than the one I'm working from. I tried to do this by using:
 
X11(display="Desktop 1");
 
However, this results in an error:

Error in X11(d$display, d$width, d$height, d$pointsize, d$gamma, d$colortype,  :
  unable to start device X11cairo
In addition: Warning message:
In X11(display = "Desktop 1") :
  unable to open connection to X11 display 'Desktop 1'

If I make a window with just x11() and than move the window manually to another desktop, It works fine, i.e. I can draw a plot in that window.

I am probably just missing some basic syntax rules here. What should I do to get my X11 window to be generated on another desktop than the one i was working from?

Thanks in advance,
Mathijs Groeneweg
