The warning comes from the gb.gui.qt component during its initialization.
If you want to have as few warnings as possible, load as few components
as possible that could warn. Don't ask the Gambas IDE for its version,
but Gambas interpreter (gbx3) or the compiler (gbc3):

  $ gbx3 --version
  3.14.90 4c2a4f47f (testing-system)

In case you want to process version output automatically, there is some-
thing you have to take into account: on stable versions like yours above
you just get "3.14.3" but on development versions you get the version
followed by the git commit and the branch name it was compiled from.

Tobias
