Tom, This message mean that you need to clear our some gplt processes. These could have gotten hung up by not being able to connect to your X server, running out of system colors etc. First, kill any orphaned "gplt" "xw" or "gf" processes (shown with the /bin/ps -ef command) then use the ipcrm command to delete the message queue id's shown with the ipcs command.
