	The deal with Gnome/E background selection is pretty simple, but can 
be a bit confusing.  Gnome has a background capplet, and that will let
you set the background of the root window. Neat, great, no problem,
so long as you're only using 1 desktop in E. (Not 1 desktop with 4 
virtual screens, as is the default RedHat E Install)

	If you are using more than one desktop (or just want to use E to
set the background anyway) then you need to disable Gnome's background
selection.  To do that, just click the "Diable background selection"
box on the Control Center Background setter thingy. (That's a techical
term, by the way, "thingy")   Once you do that, E will use it's
own background settings.

	Most of that are things you don't need to worry about... usually chalked
up to badly-behaved programs throwing errors when they get the kill
instruction from the X server.

	Could be worse.. could just core. :) 

	Sorry I couldn't answer all you're questions, but I hope it
helps,
