I vote for the status quo.

Nobody wants ugly console error boxes popping up in production code, 
but this is useful for debugging; if there are errors happening, the 
coder should know.  You can easily turn the error-displaying console 
off via g_log_set_handler(), if/when you're sure that any warnings can 
safely be ignored.
