As intended. That message is informatonal, but perhaps it could be improved a
little...

While gdb and debug logging didn't reveal anything useful, profiling
information turned up one suspect - an idle callback function which gxine
registers with GTK. This function is supposed to unregister itself by
returning FALSE, but it wasn't doing this except by chance.

I'm releasing 0.4.8 now...

The solution is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
