GTK is a PITA and will always cause similar warnings, but GTK also does
cause really serious issues, if you e.g. launch a GNOME editor with root
privileges, the Microsoft like config thingy's privileges change to root
and GNOME apps don't work for the user anymore. This are not Xfce, KDE
etc. bugs and they are also not Debian related, this is caused by
GTK/GNOME upstream's ignorance. GTK and GNOME are crap. Very likely that
even GNOME doesn't continue using GTK, LXDE for good reasons switches
from GTK to Qt.
