This is not an error.  It is an "XtWarning"  You can ignore it.
However, I do not know why tutorial window does not open.

There is a problems with dirscan feature. Therefore, files are not listed.
I am aware of this problem
but could not get enough time to fix it.
You need to type the exact name of the file you want to open.

This a warning and ignore it.

Seems like DXserver is dying on your machine.

4.0.9 for Windows is an experimental release.  You may be better off using
4.0.6.
I will release the newer version of binaries for Windows once I haev more
time
to fix the bugs and compile it.
