"ps aux | grep sshd" will tell you if you have it running or not: if the only line that comes back is the grep, then it's not running. You're looking for something like this instead: $ ps aux | grep sshd root 2668 0.0 0.1 4940 620 ?

Many of the Gnome and Gtk programs are very chatty: they will record a lot of information. As a general rule, warnings are not important unless you're a hacker trying to tidy things up. Errors are more important, and "critical" tends to mean "can't even run".
