[ESS] emacsclient: ess toolbar icons disappear when server started as daemon

[Peter Baker]

Hi Rodney

Thanks very much. I will assume that using daemons is not the way to go so
will check out your suggestions. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't totally
wrong.

I usually use stable (standard 24.4) emacs and its the same result
whichever way I go. I have a problem with org on Fedora (segfaults at
times) that just never shows up on linuxmint so I occasionally use
unreleased version on Fedora as that's my preferred OS - but with no luck
anyway

One plus is that I'm using key bindings instead of the mouse so it could be
a blessing ;-)

Thanks again

Cheers
Peter
