Thanks, Kevin!  That sounds like a likely candidate for Juliana's 
problem.  The error messages she reported could plausibly have come from 
an updated library.

This is almost certainly a problem coming from the wxWindows library, 
which is the library which creates all the GUI elements.  It is almost 
certainly not something done wrongly in Demeter.

A bit of google searching turns up quite a number of projects written in 
many different languages all showing the same warning.
