NSView drawing in tool

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

I have a tool (service) that is supposed to generate PNG images using 
NSView drawRect and

      NSBitmapImageRep *rep = [[NSBitmapImageRep alloc] 
initWithFocusedViewRect:[mapView bounds]];

When running this tool and calling the above method (NSView, NSImage 
stuff,...) I get

GSFontInfo.m:71  Assertion failed in GSFontEnumerator(class), method 
sharedEnumerator.  Called with fontEnumeratorClass unset. The shared 
NSApplication instance must be created before methods that need the 
backend may be called.

OK, I modified my main.m to call

      [NSApplication sharedApplication];

before starting the event loop with [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run], 
but this gives me

	/opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools/OSMMapServer: Uncaught exception 
WindowServerCommunication, reason: Unable to connect to X Server `'

What am i missing?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

  Andreas
