In the past couple minutes these outputs from emacs appeared in the
terminal window where emacs was started:

(emacs:14230): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 08:48:53.531:
gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

(emacs:14230): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 08:54:02.426:

(emacs:14230): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 08:57:12.636:
gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

Wisened emacs folk will certainly understand that better than I (given
that I don't have a clue).
