The simple answer is: don't worry.  For this reason, there's
a button the Preferences dialog which will turn off these
messages.

The "Parent refused resize request" messages are typically
due a window manager which insists on doing it's own thing.
I'm not sure what the "unknown type" messages are.

Did you do a "make install"?  You might find that these
messages are produced when ddd is run from it's build
directory, and it can't find it's application defaults.

Just a guess.
