When I first launch inkscape and do File|Open, I see this:

I think this one has been around for quite a while. So not sure the new file dialogs cause it.



OK. I did a quick check and got this:

** Message: INKSCAPE_EXAMPLESDIR is currently [Contents/Resources/examples]

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_system_unix_get_info: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (filename)' failed


And the code involved is 

    g_message("INKSCAPE_EXAMPLESDIR is currently [%s]", INKSCAPE_EXAMPLESDIR);
        
        //###### Allow easy access to our examples folder                                                                                                                             
    if(Inkscape::IO::file_test(INKSCAPE_EXAMPLESDIR,
                (GFileTest)(G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS | G_FILE_TEST_IS_DIR)))
        {
=>      add_shortcut_folder(INKSCAPE_EXAMPLESDIR);
    }


So... It appears that I can get the warning worked-around by adding a check for absolute path.

The main question is if that is a desired end behavior. I'd expect it only shows up for people like me, running a local dev build on OS X.
