Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Warning/error messages when running Wireshark

I'm getting a bunch or warnings/errors/criticals when running Wireshark.
I find them irritating - could someone with gtk knowledge could look into
them please? In there is also a warning message by dumpcap that seems
quite unnecessary (useless?) to me - at least when I run wireshark with
the "-r" option. That may be something to be done before 1.2.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
