1. and 2. sound like you are on Sid with Xorg 7.0. If so, make sure you
have xprint version 1:1.0.1-1 installed. The older versions are not
aware of the fact that the location of Xorg's root directory now follows
the FHS, therefore they are unable to find some important files.

If want to see and copy/paste the error message, you can restart proftpd
from an X terminal:

invoke-rc.d proftpd restart

(I have no specific knowledge of proftpd, but this general method should
be a good start to track down the problem.)
