Problems with xfree 4.1.0.1 under woody

[Vittorio <vdemart@supereva.it>]

After starting X  (either with startx or gdm) as root an annoying sequence of warning are shown, somewhat cryptic to me.

Here it is the script I've recorded:

<snip>
SetKbdSettings - type: 2 rate: 30 delay: 500 snumlk: 0
SetKbdSettings - Succeeded
ERROR: Cannot open toc file '--sm-config-prefix' for reading: No such file or directory

cannot remove `/root/.gnome//gmc-olHTH6': No such file or directory



woody:/var/run/esound# exit
<snip>

This doesn't happen at all if I startx as an ordinary user.

Is there anyone out there able to tell me what it all means and how could I fix it?

Ciao
