Well, what else can ?X11 refer to in the context of R?
R-patched and R-devel now say:
The standard X11 resource 'geometry' can be used to specify the
window position and/or size, but will be overridden by values
specified as arguments. The class looked for is 'R_x11'. Note
that the resource specifies the width and height in pixels and not
in inches. See for example <URL:
http://web.mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_resources.html> and
perhaps 'man X' (or <URL:
http://www.xfree86.org/current/X.7.html)>. An example line in
'~/.Xresources' might be
R_x11*geometry: 900x900-0+0
that specifies a 900 x 900 pixel window at the top right of the
screen.
A 'proper' X11 installation has the information about the geometry on the
X man page (perhaps in section 7), but it seems missing on recent Linux
systems.
