gftp won't launch properly after installing using darwinports

Hello,

I installed gftp using darwinports on Snow Leopard. Install appeared to go fine with no errors. When trying to launch gftp by starting X11, then typing /opt/local/bin/gftp in the terminal, nothing happens until about 30 minutes later when only a partial window appears.

I get the following message in the terminal window (though from what I have researched this is only a warning and should not mean anything):

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display etc.

Help?

Thanks, Allasso
