FWIW, my corporate email interceptor is broken. This never made it out to the

I attempted to ask nicely to simply allow all emails from and to domain
Cygwin.com,
but they don't want to comply.

When I start emacs I get this message:

Ken asks:
maybe you could do some testing to figure out what in your
initialization (including X11 initialization) triggers it. This might
help to pin down the bug.
My first response:
It appears to be related to version control 'vc' and maybe 'psvn' packages.
I removed "(require 'cl)" and load-library "vc-svn" from my .emacs init file
and this message went away.
That's not the cause of the above GTk-Critical message.
When I start emacs in dired mode on the current directory like this:
"emacs -Q ."
I don't get the Gtk message.
But when I start emacs with my font of choice like this:
"emacs --font 6x10 -Q ."
I do get the Gtk message.
I tried some other fonts:
No Gtk message with "fixed", "rk14" and "10x20".
Gtk message did happen with "6x9".
I can reproduce this, but only when emacs is started in dired mode. And
emacs seems to run OK in spite of the message, though I didn't test it much.
I don't know if this has anything to do with slowness and/or temporary zombie
processes.
I don't know either. My build from the emacs trunk still gives that
error message. It will be interesting to see whether you still have
problems with zombie processes.
