This isn't really a gnumeric issue. This warning/error is being
created by bonobo.

lets see if michael has any ideas

If you want to turn that into an error dialog you're welcome; the
dialog should perhaps say something more friendly like:

"Your packager screwed up badly and didn't ship the docs" ;->

Not convinced this is that useful. The problems of which display /
screen to put the error on etc. are not completely obvious so ...

Switching QA maint to an alias that points at me for easier sorting. Search on

simple patch

Looks lovely to me, do commit at whim to bonobo* Matthias :-)

+gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_text (GTK_MESSAGE_DIALOG (dialog),
+  error->message);

..., "%s", error->message);
unless you can guarantee that error->message doesn't contains any % characters.

I've taken the liberty of committing the corrected patch:
	http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libbonoboui/trunk/bonobo/bonobo-ui-util.c?r1=2511&r2=2550

And of disabling it for now as it breaks a string freeze.

I branched libbonoboui and fixed the code on branch and trunk.
