In the next stable version (9.1) of FreeBSD, GLib will be updated (2.28.x to 2.34.x).

In this new release (since 2.32, I seen in documentation)  g_thread_create() is deprecated. They recommend to use g_thread_new() instead. So I made patch (see below) for settings/main.c file, there isn't warning during compilation stage, but I wonder if the first parameter is correct.
