I cannot imagine anything like that would prevent Skim from launching. 
Deprecated use of anything is not an error, it does not stop anything from 
working, it only throws warnings.

Apart from this, this warning does not make any sense to me. I expect it is a 
bug in the system. We use only one dispatch_source in Skim, and we do set the 
event handlers for it. (Apart from that the documentation is very clear that 
the event handlers can be null, so even if we didn’t that would not be wrong).
