This I cannot reproduce in GIMP 1.1.22. Could you provide your
version number so that I can try with that version?

Okay, this is normal behavior. Essentially Linux keeps track of how
many times a particular partition has been mounted and forces an fsck
at boot time if the number of mounts exceeds a certain number :) The
message just tells you the result of that check.

Alright, go into the setup menu for kppp, select one one of the
accounts and click edit. Select the IP tab in the new window and
ensure that the checkbox at the bottom (Auto-configure hostname from
this IP) is _not_ checked.

Hmm... So these errors are on your terminal screen when you close the
X session? If this is the case, they may be errors generated by
applications used within GNOME. One way to test this is to open a
teminal and run the applications from there. It is apparent that
*something* is not quite right :/
You said GNOME always starts with two windows open. Assuming that you
want these two windows open everytime you start GNOME, try closing all
windows, repoen those two and logout checking the save current setup
box. This *may* remove any extraneous entries from your
~/.gnome/session file.

I would agree with that assessment. The only thing I can remember
specifically about VIA chipsets is a kernel compile option with regard
to the onboard drive controllers.
