Frame filters, pretty printers etc all self register via auto
loading.  In Fedora the auto-loading location is:

/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/

You will find the auto-load scripts for glib and others there.  You
have many options, but this is not strictly a GDB issue so I can only
advise:

1) File a bug with glib noting the error message is distracting and
serves no purpose.

2) Edit the py file to delete the print.

3) Start GDB with gdb -ex "disable frame-filters all"

4) Edit the glib auto load files not to register the frame filter.
