RE: dia gdk warning

Hans,

Re: ReleaseDC failed: I have had the same problem and it is coupled with the
text not appearing in dialog boxes under Dia. It is not simply a matter of
using Dia until it windows runs out of GDI memory: Dia becomes unuseable as
a result of the bug, which is a big shame. Version 0.86 of Dia does NOT have
this problem, later versions (0.88, 0.89) do, so I wonder a bit what has
changed between 0.86 to 0.88 which might have created the issue?

Thanks for your work on Dia; I really appreciate it and would *love* to run
a later version, but at the moment it is not possible due to this problem.

        Adrian

This is a known bug in some versions of Gtk for win32 (which is always
beta) You can simply ignore this message until your windoze rans out of
GDI memory :)

This one is in the FAQ and even on my Dia page ...
