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.
