Evan, Not that this helps you, but I am using a very similar platform and I am having the identical problem. My test simply comes from the first help(plot) example. I tried doing some things to 'correct' the problem and ended up mucking-up my Gnome environment. In the process, I was able to get

Evan, I have R 3.2.2 installed on my Ubuntu 15.04 machine -- no problems with the graphics display. I have R 3.1.1 installed on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine, that, as expected I have not had any problems with... I tried to install 3.2.2 and 3.2.1 from source and got a very strange compile error, which
