[Rd] Funny characters in x11 window title (PR#1451)
In R-1.5.0pre (2002-04-08) on Solaris 2.6, the window that X11() creates has a
title like:
R Graphics: Device 2 (ACTIVE) o iyeP )( y
except the funny characters at the end have umlauts and other accents
(i.e. extended ASCII characters), and they may be different each time X11() is
invoked. There is no loss of functionality; it just looks a little ugly.
I saw this behavior in R-1.3.?, it disappeared (along with the whole window
title) in R-1.4.1, and now it's back in R-1.5.0pre.

There, X11() {or "plot(1)"} opens a window very quickly and then ends in a segmentation fault (see below). Our automatic checking (unfortunately ?) nowadays excludes all interactive features, including non-file graphical devices... Yes, this will be investigated!
