It's not an "error", it's just a warning, I think: maybe you are using KDE and 
there is a little app bothering you: you can disable this kind of aplet from 
the KDE task bar (it's little yellow face) [sorry about my english]

I am glad. If you accept an advice, try the Icewm-English desktop: it's more 
user friendly because of the specially developed desktop icons (linked to 
bash scripts) that sometimes act in an intelligent way.
