I certainly can't get Xara LX to work on LinuxPPC (Gentoo). Your
second dialog corresponds to the message issued when trying to open a
document that contains a PNG graphic (possibly an endian issue). Your
first error could be being produced by the program trying (and
failing) to open a new untitled (default) document.

You might be able to open some simple designs such as 'BLUECAR.xar'.

I am not in a position to acknowledge the defect, nor to say that Xara
LX 0.6 is not qualified on PPC, but I am not surprised by your report.
