hey, sorry to barge in, but have you ppl by any chance seen a related 
post about this?
i saw this (am still getting it) after 7.4 upgrade, but when someone 
else reported it, the person who i think committed xorg updates i 
believe said this warning is harmless and only showing because some new 
functionality in the lib is not yet being used, something to that effect?

i think he explained that he just overlooked disabling the warning.

are you aware of this or are you having stability problems still? my 
system spits this warning, but just noise, and all working ok otherwise.
if you are aware of the post, but still having problems, then disregard 
this, and sorry if i missed something
