I took a closer look:  I actually did get the window (hidden under my 
terminal window), and
interactivity worked partially:  I could use identify, for example.  But 
when I clicked on the red close
button on the graphics window, it kicked me right out of R:

Hi Rolf,

Two possible solutions:

 * DISPLAY=0.0.0.0:0 R - and then X11() should work without  
having to use
xterm

 * install.packages("CarbonEL"); library(CarbonEL); quartz()

It is clear that life is determined to frustrate me.  I had a  
look at CRAN
just now and could find no sign of a package called "CarbonEL".   
The list
jumps from "car" to "cat" --- no "Carbon" of any flavour.  What  
gives?

I think the Mac page on CRAN points to something obsolete.  From  
the R
GUI, CarbonEL is visible.  You can also find the source on  
SourceForge
using Google.

However, it didn't work for me:  I still get the "interactivity  
reduced"
message, and when I try to plot something, just an error
"CGGSStackRestore:  gstack underflow."

I get those messages too, but the plot actually works for me.  Does
the quartz window open for you?  Can you interact with it?  (move it,
change the size etc).

Not a good idea ;) The window closes and the poor locator has no  
window to wait for clicks so it feels lonely and crashes R out of  
boredom... ;)
Should be fixed now.

FWIW: to get CarbonEL, run
install.packages("CarbonEL",,"http://www.rforge.net")

Cheers,
Simon

Thanks Simon - I still get

CGGStackRestore: gstack underflow.

whenever I plot anything.

Which version do you use? It's fixed in 41666.
