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

SYNOPSIS

       wmdrawer [-c, --configfile=FILE [-n, --instancename=NAME]]  [-w, --windowed]  [-h, --help]  [-v, --version]

DESCRIPTION

       wmdrawer is a dock application (dockapp) that provides a drawer (retractable button bar) to conveniently launch applications.

       The drawer is retractable and animated.

       Several columns of buttons can been defined in the drawer.

       The configuration file is automaticaly reloaded if it changes.

       Multiple instances of the program can run at the same time.

       The buttons can be highlighted under the mouse cursor.

       A tooltip can be defined for each button.

       The drawer can be transparent (need SHAPE extension).

       Ability to launch several apps at once from the drawer.	By holding down the key Shift or by using mouse buttons middle or right instead of
       left, you can keep the drawer opened.

       Adjustable behaviors: dock's image (logo), dock's width and height (for both min=12, max=128), automatic/manual opening and closing of  the
       drawer,	timeout  value	in miliseconds if automatic closing selected, drawer's opening direction and animation speed, mouse cursor type in
       the drawer, drawer's pseudo-transparency, icons' background image (only if transparency isn't activated), buttons' size (min=12,  max=128),
       buttons'  highlight type (0:none, 1:target, 2:shading), image used as highlight (target type only), color and darkening level for highlight
       (shading type only), drawer's border size, buttons' tooltips and tooltips' font
