The MacOSX version (Carbon) is fully functional. This is only the app,
however. What you do need to do in order to run Xconq (any version) is to
check out a fresh copy of the CVS project, which contains all the library
files and images that are needed to run xconq. Then you just put Xconq
(Carbon or Classic) into the top (xconq) directory and it will work fine.
You are seeing an empty pane because the app cannot find the library files
that it is looking for.
As for the icon, there is no high-resolution version yet. But this does not
affect the function of the app.
