I had discovered this workaround.  :-)  However, I think it would be
really nice if this (very trivial) change were made in glib. For
example, with Pidgin we'd either have to replace every g_error_free() in
~300,000 lines of code (might cause unexpected breakage, people might be
irked) or just keep putting up with the warnings.
