GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID XXX was not found when

Question

I made a treeview with a treestore as model. The window is shown as expected, but when I click in the "+" to expand the items, I get this message:

GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 221 was not found when attempting to remove it

Here is my code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

/* compile with: */
/* gcc main.c -o boxy `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` */

typedef struct {
GtkWidget *toplevel;
GtkWidget *treeview;
} Widgets;

enum { ITEM_PARENT, ITEM_CHILD };

typedef struct {
gint tipo;
gint id;
gchar *nombre;
gint cantidad;
} Lista;

void addColumn (GtkTreeView *tv, const gchar* title, gint pos) {
GtkCellRenderer *tmp;
tmp = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new ();
g_object_set (tmp, "editable", TRUE, "editable-set", TRUE, NULL);
gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes (tv, -1, title, tmp, "text", pos, NULL);
}

void setupTree (GtkTreeView *tv) {
const Lista lista[] = {
    {ITEM_PARENT, 125, "Superman", 2},
    {ITEM_CHILD, 23, "Batman", 1},
    {ITEM_CHILD, 7, "Hulk", 5},
    {ITEM_PARENT, 65, "Iron Man", 2},
    {-1, -1, NULL, -1}
};
GtkTreeStore *model;
GtkTreeIter last;
gint pos;
model = gtk_tree_store_new (3, G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_INT);
addColumn (tv, "ID", 0);
addColumn (tv, "Nombre", 1);
addColumn (tv, "Cantidad", 2);
for (pos = 0; lista[pos].tipo != -1; pos++) {
    GtkTreeIter iter;
    if (lista[pos].tipo == ITEM_PARENT) {
        gtk_tree_store_append (model, &iter, NULL);
        last = iter;
    } else if (lista[pos].tipo == ITEM_CHILD) {
        gtk_tree_store_append (model, &iter, &last);
    }
    gtk_tree_store_set (model, &iter, 0, lista[pos].id, 1, lista[pos].nombre, 2, lista[pos].cantidad, -1);
}
gtk_tree_view_set_model (tv, GTK_TREE_MODEL (model));
g_object_unref (model);
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
Widgets *ptr;
GtkWidget *scroll;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
ptr = g_slice_new0(Widgets);
ptr->toplevel = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
scroll = gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL);
gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy (GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW (scroll), GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC);
gtk_scrolled_window_set_shadow_type (GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW (scroll), GTK_SHADOW_OUT);
ptr->treeview = gtk_tree_view_new ();
setupTree (GTK_TREE_VIEW (ptr->treeview));

g_signal_connect (ptr->toplevel, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);

gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (ptr->toplevel), 10);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (scroll), ptr->treeview);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (ptr->toplevel), scroll);
gtk_widget_show_all (ptr->toplevel);
gtk_main ();
g_slice_free (Widgets, ptr);
return 0;
}

Any ideas?

This isn't a bug in your code, and it's not a crash either. It's actually just a warning that g_source_remove() was called to disconnect a certain event handler that was already disconnected, in this case, in code that is part of gtk.

The warning itself was introduced in glib 2.39, in this commit, and seems like only arch linux users are affected by it because other distros haven't updated yet.

In most cases this is completely harmless, and only an annoyance. Might be worth a look if it originates with a g_source_remove() call in your own code.

Set a breakpoint on g_log to find what's causing it:

(gdb) break g_log
Breakpoint 1 at 0x7ffff5ea5a70
(gdb) c
Continuing.

The backtrace goes all the way from gtk_main to g_log without passing a single time through your code, so this probably affects any gtk program with a treeview.
