For now you can ignore this message. Some (or should I say most) of the 
routines arent finihed yet.

Unfortunately the windows version has a problem at this moment which 
results in a continuous redrawing. It appears that there is a difference in 
behaviour between the win32 and the Linux GTK implementation. Since most of 
the developmnet is done on Linux this error is hard to track down.

I would suggest to try the Linux version.
