If I understand correctly, he is saying that he is not doing anything that should result in such a warning.  If that's 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.

That's exactly what I should have said.  I don't want bona-fide warnings stifled - if I'm doing something wrong, I do want to be notified, but would prefer to not see errant and perhaps misleading warnings popping up.  In the case in point, it appears that something - TreeView? ScrolledWindow? is handling widget expansion contrary to the way Gtk3 expects it to be done.

FWIW, I just compiled the same code (with appropriate modifications) under gtk2 and this warning does not appear.
