Hi Alan,

weekend is family time, so no work from my side on this issue here. I  
just updated to the last plplot version and I get now little different  
warnings.

Sure, I'll try to debug that, but have limited time to do so.

That explains the more verbose warning messages.

Nope, this warnings only occur with the qt devices. All other drivers  
I tried (wxwidgets, xwin, ps, pdf) worked as expected.

Will do that now.

The problem must be somehow related to the qt driver (though as you, I  
can't imagine what the problem might be) and I try to debug it. Since  
I have not much experience with qt and also not much time, this might  
take a little.
