[Pedro Villavicencio]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate
your help.

Title:
  Annoyning warning with several applications:  ignoring no-arg,
  optional-arg or filename flags

Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Several Gnome applications give warning when started from terminal
  (gnome-terminal/xterm) without parameters. This is annoying and hides
  true bugs, as (I think) happens on
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/742516 with 30
  duplicates.

  e.g. : gimp
  GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0

  e.g. : bluefish
  GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 0
  GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./glib/goption.c:2132: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (8) on option of type 6

  e.g. : gtk-gnutella

  This seems to be relevant:

  Or are all these bugs on those applications?
