gEDA-user: pcb displays popup dialogs for messages instead of using log window

[Colin D Bennett <colin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

pcb is displaying some annoying dialogs with a "printf" style format
string instead of the usual log message window I am used to seeing.  I
can't figure out how to turn off these dialogs, of which several pop up
at startup and then whenever a message would be logged.

See the screen capture collage of these dialogs at
<http://gibibit.com/upload/2010-11-09_GEDA_pcb_popups.png>.

At startup, several dialog boxes are displayed in sequence with the
following contents, as well as missing/garbage characters on the two
dialog buttons (the left button--perhaps Cancel--has some sort of
missing-character glyph that shows "0008"):

#1
  Note: home directory is "%s"
#2
  Loading menus from %s
#3
  The gtk gui current ignores "%s"as part of a menuitem resource. Feel
  free to provide patches

Other things, that produce log messages, such as optimizing nets
with the 'o' key shortcut produces the same sort of thing, but worse

I've been using the pcb 2010-09-29 release (built from git sources on
Ubuntu 10.04 amd64) and also now tried the latest git HEAD as of
2010-11-07 and the problem remains.

I tried moving my ./pcb/preferences away and it didn't fix it.  Thanks
in advance for the help!  The startup messages are a little annoying,
but when I hit 'o' and get a barrage of dozens of "shorted net"
warnings, etc., it's basically unusable.

Regards,
Colin
