As I recall from looking at the 'util.c' code once upon a time, Xconq 
uses a simple LCRNG. If we wanted something with a much longer cycle 
length, we could go for a Mersenne Twister or some such. Of course, that 
would not be suitable for cryptographic work, but neither is the current 
one.

But, better seeding would probably be a good first step.
