Oh. I haven’t encountered this bug and assumed that it was fixed in 2.10.

Is there an open bug filed in GTK+ bugzilla for this? I tried to search for something that matches the description but I came up empty.

If this affects everyone, maybe this warning should be replaced with an entry to etc/PROBLEMS?
