Description
Whenever I open nvidia-settings, I get the following message in my terminal:
(nvidia-settings:25341): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 22:54:54.575: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
I've been told on the Gentoo forums that this message isn't important. If so, why does it say I have a critical error? Everything on my system seems to work fine.
My OS is Gentoo Linux my kernel version is 5.12.10-gentoo,
The version I'm running is the latest:
~ $ nvidia-settings --version
nvidia-settings: version 470.42.01
The NVIDIA X Server Settings tool.
This program is used to configure the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver.
For more detail, please see the nvidia-settings(1) man page.Contributor guide

Research direction
Start by reproducing the terminal output when opening nvidia-settings 470.42.01 on the reported Gentoo and kernel setup, then determine whether the GLib-GObject-CRITICAL message reflects a real failure or only misleading severity. Done means the issue has an identified cause and a clearly justified resolution for the message's critical wording.
