Partial success. . . . was: Re: gEDA: Help with Output global in PCB. . . .

Hi --

I can report partial success with overcoming the warning spew from
gpcb!  I upgraded my gtk installation to the latest stable 2.6 version
(gtk+-2.6.8) and the messages went away.

Previously, on one box I was using gtk+-2.4.0 which comes installed
with FC3.  I don't know what I was using with the FC2 box; I don't
have it near me right now. 

The problem looked like the callback 
gui_drawing_window_expose_event_cb (or whatever it's called) had its
arguments munged by the callback marshall.  Although this happened
with each call, only sometimes would it lead to a warning spew.

What versions of gtk are you using with your test platforms?

Stuart
