When does this error show in the terminal? While you're still looking at
the mesh or only when you close the window? If it only appears after you
closed the window then that's just because the x11meta window does not
terminate the connection to the x server properly. That's not a problem.

It doesn't look like a problem at this stage. Continue with the tutorial
and see if the following steps produce output you expect.
