One the "newer" of the two versions (3.02) of xpdf I get in full:
  XtUngrabButton(drawArea,3,0)
  Warning: Attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab

A Google on: XtUngrabButton
Tells me it is the NAME of an X Toolkit Intrinsics (XLib) function.

Other then that tidbit most of the rest was almost meaningless.
