Here's a patch for gmessages.c in GLIB so that it will print out the program
name everytime it prints a warning. I find it annoying whenever I return to
a virtual terminal after closing X down to find 4 or 5 **Warning** Cannot
disconnect signal handler 108465638 or some such warnings, without knowing
where they've come from (I had originally thought GMC, turns out it'd the
panel - thanks to the patch :). It's probably already available in a
configuration option somewhere but that would have involved RTFM and I
didn't, so I don't know.
I've waffled enough, here's the patch
Hope it's useful.
