I am using ggplot2 on ubuntu 12.04. By default my x11 type is set to Xlib. So when I use a smoother in qplot, I get an error like:

“semi-transparency is not supported on this device: reported only once per page”.

However, if I call x11(type=”cairo”), everything works fine.

How do I get cairo as the default backend for x11?

    Define another function ‘x11’ which sets the proper type:

    x11 = function (...) grDevices::x11(...,type='cairo')
