The preferred method of having workspace start up when you log in is to
use the system manager, open the user tool, select the users icon, and
set workspace 'on' in the appropriate spot (by selecting a button). 
This will ensure that workspace starts up whenever that user logs on. When
workspace is started via this mechanism, these errors  go to the
console window, which is preferable to having them disappear into
hyperspace. 

Hope this helps.
