[Gambas-user] tracking down toolkit erors

[Bruce Steers]

Cheers folks.

There's got to be a way to suppress the warnings?

I've tried env GTK_DEBUG and GTK_NO_DEBUG options but no change.

I've even tried catching the application std / error output and filter out
gtk messages but cannot even figure out how to do that as does not seem to
work. (I'm likely doing it wrong)

Benoit...
Could you suggest a way to track down if possible exactly what object
produces the warning so i can iron it out?
Or.
Offer/Suggest a way to suppress the gtk warnings.

To the lesser knowledgable user (and i've had it said about my own
software)  these warnings produce a thought of "buggy software" and puts
people off using it.

A solution to this age old issue would be awesome if there is one.

Thanks all
BruceS
