xftree will work without problem with my "fix" in the vast majority of cases.

Usually, you do not need the --display flag (I don't think I ever used it),
but it is a kind of standard for X applications. It tells xftree to open the
window on a different display than the default one, i.e. the one pointed to by
the DISPLAY environment variable. 

My best bet is that if you do not know whether you need to use "--display",
then it means that you don't need it!

(it's very easy to write a patch that would replace setenv() by putenv(),
and preserve all functionalities, but as I don't need --display I just did
the trick I mentioned; ask me if you think you need the patch.)
