yeah, I just downloaded the demo off their website
http://www.tropico3.com/?p=downloads
I don't recall the error messages... I'll have to reinstall it later and see, I only tested it because the OP was trying to get it to work.  The install runs great.  I don't think there is anything missing in Xquartz that should prevent the game from running in a virtual desktop.
