Definitely it is strange to use the STDERR instead of STDOUT, and after seen what happened in this case, I inmediately change it in the new script I' m writing.

>Suppressing all error messages is a workaround with undesirable side-

You are right, but in this case are suppressed only the errors from gtk 1.x.x, and probably if the gtk install is seriously broken your computer will show more problems...

>The next thing is the error message by itself. The requested module is

In my installation as well

>Besides, it is not indicated as a dependency of Xdialog (well, maybe
>it is an indirect dependency,

Xdialog developper assumes that gtk installation MUST be 100 % ok on each computer, for this reason he doesn' t care about dependencies.

>libcanberra deals with sound and I don't consider that as an essential part of the

Definetely it isn' t

Let's wait for news.
