[Matthew S]

The compilation is full of warnings on almost every file.

Those are Glib warnings for Gtk2 that can be ignored. Dibuja will still compile and be used. You can use the dibuja Gtk3 version, should compile with no warnings:
   ./configure --prefix=/your_prefix --libdir/your_lib_dir --with-gtk3

I prefer to use the Gtk2 version

Thank you! I did not think it was a serious concern but the compiler warnings make me cringe. I did not know it could be compiled with gtk3 to get rid of the warnings.
