Hi,

In spite of passing --quiet I get the following, every single time, even when passing --ui=text:

8<-------------------------->8
** (process:8656): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:8656): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:8656): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

Hi,

the "Trying to register gtype" warnings came from the Python 2 GTK
bindings reportbug imported at the time; reportbug is now Python 3 and
uses GObject introspection. With 13.2.0, `reportbug --quiet --ui=text`
prints neither those warnings nor the welcome banner: the first thing
on screen is the first prompt.

Closing; please reopen if you still get noise with a current version.

Regards,
Sandro
