sudo gedit messages Q

When running sudo gedit from the terminal window on knoppix 7.2, I'm getting the following messages: The editor seems to work fine and the filesystem/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45knoppix contains my new addition to fix the touchpad scroll. But I wonder about the messages that occur with knoppix 7.2 and not with 7.0.5.
