O.K. Now I see that I need to use Show for PlotRange to work as
expected...

Though these are not the only problems with ListPlot.
Try to run the following code:

ListPlot[{{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 5}, {2, 2}, {2, 1}},
 Joined -> True]

Automatic PlotRange definition seems to be very buggy. Most of the
graphic is not shown!
