one could use the new ::pdwindow::verbose{} rather than post{}. but really the underlying problem should be fixed sooner than later.
Warnings that happen every time rapidly become meaningless, and therefore a pointless annoyance. Much better is to fix the underlying problem:
yes, this is what i was saying.
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data?view=rev&revision=...
this is what should have been done to fix the problem, and which i didn't find time to do.
so in the end, it worked out exactly as i imagined:
- i added a more verbose output
- the new output hinted at a problem in the arg parsing
- someone got annoyed by the output
- the underlying problem was fixed
so i'm not sure whether there is a problem with the way i did.
so the next "meaningless, and therefore a pointless annoyance" to fix is: "WARNING: Font family 'Courier' not found, using default (courier)"
let's see who makes the race

Ah, ok, it wasn't clear to me that you had an intention of fixing it. Agreed on the font warning. I'd like to keep it there for a while to get some more info on how it affects people, but for the final release, people shouldn't see it unless there is an actual problem.
