Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. Yes, loosing those warnings would be
bad. 

So maybe your idea is better, although I still don't like the fact that
it makes %s in gtk_message_dialog_new_with_markup() behave differently
from every other printf()-like function in glib and gtk. If this trap is
really so bad, then maybe we should just remove
gtk_message_dialog_new_with_markup() and add
gtk_message_dialog_set_markup() instead ?
