The problem is that "ess-request-a-process" uses ess-language variable
and not "ess-dialect" for initial-input. Here is the patch:

 				;; maybe ess-local-process-name IF exists?
 				)))))



Taking this opportunity, `ess-electric-brace` when skeleton-pair is used does
not indent the braces. Here is a simple patch:
