Those are messages that come from the engine, and neither is fatal (the
worst that can happen is your plugins won't be found).

If you can reproduce the problem, just mail (or file on savannah)
instructions how to make it crash and I can fix it.  Otherwise, it would
help if you can build with debugging, and run om_gtk in gdb, like this:

Build Om with debugging:

cd /the/path/where/om/source/is
./configure --enable-debug [whatever other options you want]
make

Run om_gtk in gdb:
cd src/clients/gtk
gdb ./om_gtk

Inside gdb:
(gdb) run
[now make om_gtk crash]
(gdb) bt

Paste the output of the 'bt' to the mailing list (or file it on Savannah
as a bug)

(gdb) quit     [to escape GDB]

If I messed up the instructions, someone on IRC (freenode) in #lad or
#om can help.

Thanks for the help,
