Make sure that there are no spaces around the _comma-separated_ list of
usernames in the wheel entry in the /etc/group file.  Also, consider
making your default gid 0 (i.e. wheel) in /etc/master.passwd.

You might be able to run xconsole and have all error messages redirected
there.  A simple "xrefresh" will clean up the screen, tho.  How often do
you get error messages from the server itself?  I don't believe I've ever
seen any that I can remember...
