Thanks for all the information, Brian, but I think you misunderstood the 
context of my question.  I'm the maintainer of xpdf, and Yaakov 
suggested a modification to my .cygport file.  This results in a warning 
(presumably when xpdf is not run under a desktop environment).  I'm 
simply asking if there's an easy way to suppress the warning so that 
users aren't annoyed by it.
