This is expected; X11.app doesn't support either extension, regardless  
of what libraries you have installed.  (Some of us have argued to the  
Apple X11 folks that XRandR should be supported, but unsuccessfully so  
far.)

You just have to install the corresponding library ports, then rebuild  
Gtk2hs.

In my experience X11.app does a poor job translating non-Roman  
character sets between itself and the WindowServer (X11.app is a  
protocol adapter, not a full-fledged X11 server; this is also why  
XRandR isn't supported).
