It's probably some toolkit check, since ChoX11 of course won't
check for it.  Unless you've inadvertently linked to X11 instead.
If it's the former, then you can temporarily work around it
by setting the DISPLAY variable - "localhost:0" will do.  But
you might want to find who is complaining.

This is from ChoX11, and should probably be implemented:

http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/appendix/c/XESetCloseDisplay.html

But may be harmless initially.

RANDR does things like screen rotation, resolution changing
and stuff in X.  I think this warning will be harmless.

As for XPDF, you really want to obtain the old versions
and integrate the RISC OS patches:

I suspect this has its own native RISC OS frontend, voiding
the need for ChoX11.
