If I understand correctly, he is saying that he is not doing anything that should result in such a warning.  If thats the case, its a bug in GTK and putting the warning behind a more restrictive flag isn't a fix, its just pretending the bug doesn't exist.

With my situation, I know that I am often doing things that would result in this warning, within specific containers or windows.  It would be ideal if I could tell GTK that I have good reasons for this, for these particular widgets and that I don't want to get this warning for them, but its OK to warn me about other similar situations for different widgets.  For example a flag on a container that tells GTK that you are doing custom sizing that may trigger the warning but you know that, and its OK.
