Ignore it.  When gdm fires up and takes over tty7 it doesn't put an
entry in utmp.  That's fairly minor.  However, it's best to run
chkrootkit in a non-GUI runstate (e.g. runstate 3).  One way to do it
is:

	1. Log out of the GUI
	2. Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a regular console
	3. Log in as root
	4. # telinit 3
	5. # chkrootkit -q
	6. # telinit 5
	7. Log back into the GUI
