There are just too many of these warnings because GTK+ people are extremely deprecation-happy and like marking functions which need to be used for the code to work with the older GTK+ versions as deprecated. Because of this, in many cases we have no choice but to continue to use the now deprecated functions and the only way to avoid them is to pepper the code with the pragmas doing this. Disabling the warning globally seems like the lesser evil because not disabling them at all is worse than useless as the flood of the unavoidable deprecation warnings hides any real ones that might occur.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
