OK, none of us have seen this:

 - What operating system are you using?
 - Is there anything special about your box? (particularly slow?
   particularly fast? running over a remote connection?)
 - If these are GNOME apps, what version of gnome-libs are
   you using?
 
We (of course) really want to track this down.

Assumming that the app producing these warnings is gnome-terminal,
This is a problem with GnomeDock. It is size_allocating 
widgets that it never called size_request on. Since the
only problem here is the warnings being printed out, and
since we can easily fix the warning by fixing gnome-libs, I
don't think we have to go back to ignoring this 
broken hehavior.

Thanks for the report,
