DM: Others (developers and/or users) may be able to shed more light on
these, but it's possible that these are more 'warnings' than 'errors'
and thus may be 'harmless'. I have seen similar comments related to
this type of GTK-related terminal output. If it were me, I might try an
online search with some strings from this output to see what it might be
about, and then just ignore them if everything was working as expected.
