X errors

i've seen these types of errors many times before.. usually when an app that utilizes gtk is about to crash. they likely don't exactly happen when you shutdown X, but sometime while it is running. the reason they spill out to a terminal is because the application that caused it is run directly by the X server, and thus it inherits the X servers stdout - the stdout of the term X was started in.

its not really something to worry about, unless (gtk) applications are dying on you when they shouldnt. in any case, if you say its not going to be setup for logins soon anyway, you'll probably remove X soon anyway.
