I get that message some times on my Linux system, when I accidentaly try to run an x program from a terminal window that's logged in as root, running over an X session with my normal user. It can't run two X user sessions on top of each other, nor can it open X apps into another users session. It might be a matter of just changing the config or some othr simple workaround. I doesn't bother me, so I haven't looked in to it. I don't know what might be causing the problem on a Windows X server though... Could be a problem with Gtk+. You should try to recompile Freeciv without Gtk+ support. Then the Xaw civclient will be compiled, not the Gtk+ one. It might help. Look at the installation help file in the Freeciv source folder to figure out how to do it.

I think you just have to run
xhost +localhost
to allow all users on the local system to use the running X server.

I do NOT think it is a GTK problem

Thue is right, its not a GTK problem. This is a function of how the security on Xwindows works. Especially Kumiorava's problem.

Thanks, paulz! You saved me the trouble of looking that up later.
