[ESS] x11 configuration for running ess on remote server

[Ista Zahn]

And... now it magically works again, I can no longer reproduce the
problem. Good for me, not so good for Zhihao.

Zhihao, can you see if it works with a minimal config, e.g., start
emacs with 'emacs -q', evaluate[1]

(require 'package)
(package-initialize)
(require 'ess-site)

open the remote file and try to plot? If it works that would suggest
something in your emacs configuration is the cause, and you can
comment out half at a time to see where the problem is.

Best,
Ista

[1] I think this assumes you've installed ESS using the package
manager, if you installed it by hand just run _only_ those lines from
your emacs initialization file required to load ESS.
