Having the following configure switch defaults will lessen those messages.

    --with-x-toolkit=lucid

#+NAME: Emacs-Daemon-Start
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  $ emacs --color=no --daemon

  Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
  Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is 
unexpectedly lost.
  Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this 
problem.
  Starting Emacs daemon.
