Bug Description
If gschem encounters a line in a config file it does not understand, the message sent to the status window lacks the keywords "error" or "warning". Subsequently, gschem quits parsing the resource file at the offending line and resumes the start-up procedure. This may result in unexpected behavior.
Suggestion:
The message might read: "gschem encountered a problem while reading <filename>, line <line number>. The rest of the file remains unread."
This message should go to stdout, too.
