How to repeat:
Start mysql-workbench from command line

Suggested fix:
e.g. add a --verbose command line switch and suppress all warning output unless that is given

Thank you for the bug report. Verified on X86_64 Fedora 13:

Disabled diag msgs by default, added an option to enable it explicitly.
Some warning messages from GTK are still present, tho and can not be easily removed.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at

  http://www.mysql.com/downloads/

starting workbench on linux using the cmdline-switch "--verbose" adds additional output to terminal for diagnostic purpose  .
this was added for 5.2.25

An entry has been added to the 5.2.25 changelog:

MySQL Workbench generated excessive diagnostic messages on start up.

MySQL Workbench has been changed so that by default diagnostic messages are not displayed on Linux, unless activated by starting MySQL Workbench with the --verbose option.
