Furthermore, if the PDF file changes during the time that atril is
running, and it reloads, it outputs the following as well (which it also
did not previously):

  (atril:229754): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_parent: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
  
  (atril:229754): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to 'EvWebView'

  (atril:229754): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkDialog:has-separator is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

None of this should be output either.  If it indicates an actual defect,
the defect should be fixed; otherwise, there's no point in printing it.
