GTK/GDK warnings are ok but if you see CRITICAL in debug mode then
you get a crash in non-debug mode. Just because CRITICAL message is an
assertion which will be removed from code in non-debug mode and you'll
get an invalid memory pointer eventually. JFYI.

Any CRITICAL message should be definitely fixed. You can catch a core
dump on them if you set an environment variable G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals
beforehand.
