I would categorize these as somewhat bogus warnings.. The first two are
easy to "fix" (and I did that), but the last one would require silly
workarounds just to get rid of the warning that should not really be
there in the first place. Since the changes would make the code more
difficult to understand and could introduce bugs, I did not commit this
part.


PS.

A quick compilation test with g++ 4.3.0 resulted in couple hundred of
warnings from my Qt4 header files... The four (now one) warning from
main wpa_gui source code is kind of hidden in the output ;-).
