You can turn off all the extra stuff in gwenview and leave a very simple and clean interface, just icons without all the extra info about the selected image. As for all the errors... you caused those :) Thats the program complaining that you turned off nepomuk and tore out it's image tagging/cataloging interface. If you are running it from scripts, just add: 2>/dev/null to the end of the line and it will get rid of all the errors.
