This looks like a simple bug in drawstuff/x11.cpp. Either add
  XCloseDisplay(display);
before line 177 (display = 0), or remove that "display = 0", and change 
line 103 from:
  display = XOpenDisplay (NULL);
to:
  if(!display) display = XOpenDisplay (NULL);

The second solution will be probably faster since it will not open a new 
X11 connection every time.
