"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings."

g_log... g_warning... fprintf(stderr... magic dialog output...
What's the plan for a grand unification of this all?
First, there are a few classes getting setup that would appear to deal with this. When should each be used, and where.

Not sure if this best starts here on the list, or on the Wiki. I've setup a stub page to get filled in eventually. http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ErrorsAndWarnings
