1) Did you merge the resources or restart X? You need to in order to get
new resources to be recognized.
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources would be needed to merge resources into the
current X session.
I don't know if MacOS X11 is standard enough to support this, but it is a
very long-standing basic part of X11.
2)
options(device=function() x11(xpos=-1))
plot(1:10)
should work (does for me): it does not affect x11() in any way, just the
auto-start graphics device.
