I've had that warning pop up for years as I've launched scintilla's scite from the command line.

Many thanks for the tip! I assumed that there was something missing, but I would have never found this gtk addition! I am still learning!!!! for the record, it also fixes the same error message which is printed when you run emacs, or jgp
