Hello!
I’m no expert on running things in Linux, but I found this post on the LemmaSoft Forums that seems to describe a similar issue.
If this works (or doesn’t), please let me know! I’m so sorry you encountered this problem…
Oh god, I just realized my earlier answer contained info from over ten years ago...
Here's a more relevant solution that may help:

Again, if this works (or doesn’t), please let me know!
It's definitely not the second issue; I've had permissions problems before and the game just won't launch, but it's an easy fix. I'm not sure about the missing dependencies. Sorry I forgot to copy the error text before. Here's what I get running the game in a terminal:
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Serial number of failed request: 371 Current serial number in output stream: 371
And here's the log.txt after force quitting:
