You mean like the kernel messages?

I don't think that people who struggle over that output will ever
compile geeqie themself. They use the version, the distribution is
giving him.

That is a sad fact, yes.

I think we should inhibit the deprecated warnings, they're useless
unless we're doing a new release and/or moving to a new version of
GTK.  Otherwise they just provide no useful information at this time.

The (whitespace) dammaged patch I sent goes a long way to making
things quieter, so we can work on the real errors.

Exactly.  These days it's so easy to do: git clone ... && ./configure
&& make
that we should support that model if at all possible.

I'm slowly trying to help out where I can.  I don't know GTK at all.

Heh.

And just update the readme to reflect that change.
