The message does not only show with old applications, it also shows:
- every time I suspend my notebook
- every time I start a second X session to log in as a different user

I agree that the message is very annoying and would be glad to be rid of 
it, especially as the only comment from the maintainers so far has been 
to just ignore it.
IMHO, If it is "ignoreable", then it is also "suppressable".

Thanks for your patch. I think I'll add it to my local branch too.

Cheers,
