Umm, I think that one only seemingly "works". It does the same as plain x11(xpos=500) followed by options(device=NULL) (try removing the window and then plot(0)). More likely, you want options(device = function() x11(xpos=500) ) which you can handle using the techniques described under ?Startup (i.e. stick it in a .Rprofile file, for instance).
