Public bug reported:
R uses by default cairo for X11 type.
When plotting a graph, e.g. plot(1:10,1:10) the plot window remains blank.
This is seems a regression in R version 2.15.2 and is fixed in R 2.15.3.
FYI plotting in 12.04 works, it's broken in 13.04+.
So please update the R package or patch it using the patch from Fedora for
example. I will link Fedora's as well as R's upstream bugreport.
For all who suffer from this. There are 2 workarounds.
1. call X11(type="Xlib") before each plot
or
2. Resize the plot window
