[ESS] Cannot disable args from showing in minibuffer

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Hello,

well, I have the inverse problem!!!  I mostly use S+ but R also a little
bit.  I used to have, and liked it, to have the functions' args showing up
in the minibuffer.  Now nothing???  Further more pressing F3, used to show
the functions' args, but now all it shows in the minibuffer is:

ARGS:

that is it, not verry usefull!!!

But, by the way, I like very much the new completion scheme when
requestiong help, good job, thanks.
