My OS is Ubuntu 11.10, I started Sublime Text 2 from the terminal, everytime when I operated it, this Gdk-warning will be shown on the terminal, it’s very annoying. How to fix it?

$ subl . &

    To fix this, you have to look at the source code of the application, fix it and recompile it. Gdk is giving a warning, but it’s probably because the application is misusing the library.

    Unfortunately it’s a little common to see these errors on Gtk+ applications… Too bad some developers don’t care about fixing them…

    Another solution is to launch the app redirecting it’s stdout and/or stderr to somewhere else: subl . > /dev/null 2>&1 &
