GSCurrentServer is of course defined in GSDisplayServer in gui, as a
quick grep surely has told you already. And the message you are getting
comes from NSScreen, where the method screens fails. What surprises me
is that this should be the first error message you get. What does
NSApplication get in its _init method for the variable srv?
The place where things should actually go wrong is the _initXContext of
XGServer. Could you please add some debug output to that method and test
the results?
