You can redirect the messages to a log file if you want. I personally use evince filename.pdf 2>/dev/null as my logfile, though you may want to redirect to an actual logfile. Also if you run these from Fvwm using Exec in a binding, menu, FvwmConsole, etc, they should be redirected to ~/.xsession-errors. > > This is a warning, informing the user that this integration with the > > gnome or xfce Session Manager will be missing. > > I don't understand.

My best guess is something in the session management to recall the placement of windows. This of course is not vital to the program running, but gives people who use GNOME or XFCE integration with their session management. These are also coming from gtk3 I believe since I see them from other programs. > > I obviously can't do anything about you finding that annoying.

This is also not just evince that gives these warnings. I get them from libreoffice gtk as well. But this is not a bug and has nothing to do with FVWM. Since you don't seem to want this bug closed the best place I think it can rot is a wishlist bug in GTK3 to include an option to either disable these warnings, or to put them in a log file. jaimos
