That would reduce the number of windows, so there'd be less juggling,
but the problem is still there - even if I have four plots in one
window, if I can't get that window to show up when I want it, I still
have a problem. And it wouldn't help at all with lattice plots.

That'd be like serving caviar on a piece of mouldy bread! I did check,
though, running R from the command line. The same issue comes up, so
the problem is not coming from Emacs.
