The latest comments (made today) in that bug says that the change should be 
reverted.  Lets wait and see what happens before we change Emacs.

Besides, there is nothing we can do.  We just call gtk_init.  It is inside 
that function somewhere the warning gets produced.  The obviously didn't test 
that patch at all.
