Hi,

Owen can answer this better but is out of town, so I'll try.

Is the error fatal or is it just printing this and moving on?

If nothing else you could perhaps rebuild GTK and pass
--with-xinput=no to configure, then it won't try to use xinput.

If the terminal lists the extension but doesn't actually support it,
then that would certainly confuse GTK. (Or more accurately, it
probably confuses Xlib, but GTK is using the Xlib functions that use
this extension.) The X terminal is definitely badly broken if it does
this kind of false advertising, though.

You are saying GTK works on the older terminals? Do they have the X
input extension?
