Tested on a Linux Mint 17.2 system, Cinnamon desktop -- R 3.2.2. 
Graphics work *perfectly*.

Will try rolling back to earlier version of R tomorrow on the CentOS 
6.xx box, to see if something has changed with R that is no longer 
playing nice with X11 as implemented on CentOS -- this wouldn't surprise 
me entirely, since CentOS goes for 'stability', whereas Mint is closer 
to 'bleeding edge'. If R is expecting a more 'current' implementation of 
X11 and associated libs than CentOS has, that would explain the problem.
