Strange. The image base address for the libgimpui DLL is chosen by the
linker, supposedly from the range reserved for 3rd-party DLLs. If that
range was reserved, the same warning would be displayed for most other
GLib and GTK+ DLLs, too.

Presumably the u7shp.exe plug-in crashed unexpectedly when GIMP run it
the first time. Try moving it (and the other plug-ins that generate
that warning) away. u7shp shouldn't be very important, it handles some
file format related to some game. What other plug-ins generate this
same message?

The color problem must be something unrelated.

Do you get the same warnings also when running GIMP "natively" on the
machine, not through either RDP or ICA? I have run GIMP on NT 4
myself, and haven't seen anything like that ole32.dll relocation
warning.
