apparently those messages mean nothing, as gedit works like usual. – Uri Herrera Jun 6 '11 at 20:41
Of course, I am able to use gedit but the warning messages are filling the terminal from where gedit was lanched. Moreover, I think that it would be good if we know the reasons behind the messages. – samarasa Jun 6 '11 at 21:18

assuming you start gedit in the shell you could pipe all output to null, as in

gedit textfile.txt > /dev/null 2>&1 &

and maybe create a shell script with $@ instead of textfile.txt to allow general filenames, i.e. create a file, say geditt with the following contents:

gedit &@ > /dev/null 2>&1 &

save it in your path -- maybe ~/bin -- and make it executable via chmod +x ~/bin/geditt

Thanks. But it would be good if we know the reasons behind the warnings. – samarasa Jun 6 '11 at 21:16
