Locally elliptic actions on Davis realizations have a global fixed point

Let GG be a group acting by type-preserving simplicial isometries on a building Δ\Delta. Let XX be the Davis realization of Δ\Delta, and call the action locally elliptic if every element of GG has a fixed point in XX. Fixed-point conjecture. If the GG-action on XX is locally elliptic, then GG has a global fixed point in

XX,X\cup\partial X,

where X\partial X denotes the visual boundary of XX. This would generalize the fixed-point result for almost connected locally compact groups acting on trees and would imply the preceding conjecture that every almost connected locally compact group has property (FB)\operatorname{(FB)}; the status of the assertion is not resolved in the supplied text.
