I find vnc sometimes helps with keeping a X active for an R session.
Also, if you take care to close your x11 devices, and if when you re-ssh
you happen to get the same forwarded X DISPLAY=localhost:11.0 or whatever,
the R session in screen will use the new forwarded connection.
It also seems like using Sys.putenv(DISPLAY='localhost:11.0') overrides
the DISPLAY that screen's child R session inherits from the initial
invocation of screen.
