When running xLights .53 on linux and using the -r mode,  I receive a lot of the above messages.  Doesn't matter which profile I use.  I don't see the issue outside of using the -r.

According to what I've read, it appears something is being initialized and since the window isn't there its having an issue.

Cool so if I ever use Linux don't use -r mode whatever that is.

Why isn't the window there?    The -r flag SHOULD be bringing up the xLights window and then render everything.  Thus, the window should be there.

The window does show, my guess and guess only is perhaps something in the -r logic is trying to initialize before some resource is created.  Not sure where in the code to look.

It is a gtk issue (or more accurately a problem with how wxwidgets uses gtk).   It is caused by wxwidgets not initialising widgets properly)
It is fixed in gtk3 - but there are other problem with wxwidgets that stops us from using gtk3 instead of gtk2.
You should be able to safely ignore those messages - things will still work
