GTK+ warnings are warnings about incorrect code in your application,
you should consider them to be as necessary to fix as a segfault.
The GTK+ development policy is to not print a warning unless
an actual bug in application code has been detected.

While it is theoretically possible to drop the warning messages
on the floor (poke around the GLib API docs), this is a horribly bad
idea. GTK+ can actually be compiled without the checks that are
producing the warnings; in that case your application *will* crash.
