Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_style_get: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Question

After a static build of my qt application

./configure -static -debug-and-release  -confirm-license -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools 

it works fine but I get several output messages yelling:

(MyApplication:32030): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_style_get: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Is there really a critical problem, should I rebuild qt with different option?

Any help will be appreciated.

This is kind of late, but hopefully it will save someone else some time.

For me, the error was being caused by the combination of two things: QCleanlooksStyle and QTableWidget. On ubuntu, the default style is either QCleanlooksStyle or QGtkStyle (which inherits from QCleanlooksStyle). When a QTableWidget is painted with either one of these styles, I saw that error. My solution was something like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    a.setStyle(new QPlastiqueStyle());

    MainWindow w;
    w.show();

    return a.exec();
}
