gEDA-dev: libgeda error reporting

Hi all,

While working on gattrib, I noticed that libgeda
prints errors and uses calls like fprintf(stderr, ...).

So when you try to open up a nonexistant file in
a program using libgeda (gattrib in this case), you
get errors both from libgeda and from the program.
Is this intended?

If libgeda is indeed a library, shouldn't it
just return an error and let the user take care 
of it (by printing the error string and exiting
the program, for example)?
