     Right.  As specified, I only used that as an example.

     You could substitute this in your .emacs file with:

X

     or

(add-to-list 'NON-EXISTANT-VARIABLE
             '(nil))


     The bug being reported is:

(emacs:23680): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to Emacs 0x1ad02c0
without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the
code know the size to allocate?

     This is presumably a problem with Emacs's interaction with
     GTK creating/manipulating a window or frame.

     Sorry if this was misinterpreted -- I wasn't picking on Tramp!


     Thanks.
