Regardless of whether there's been an incompatible behaviour change,
this warning indicates a bug in either gweled or a library that it
uses. GErrors are like exceptions; after calling some function that
fails, you must either propagate the error to your caller, or clear the
error indicator (usually with g_clear_error()) to indicate that it has
been handled.

G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings is sometimes useful to pin down the cause for
warnings like this by turning them into fatal errors that leave a core
dump.
