I agree. I'd rather use waitEvent but SFML does support that. You have no ability to timeout a waitEvent call and no way to insert an event. In SDL1 btbuilder sets a timer event to trigger and calls waitEvent, but I don't see a way to do that in SFML. It does limit the framerate to 60 fps but there is no indication how that is implemented. However I think I figured it out. The other sample program I tried isn't generating the warning any more. I was sure it did before but maybe I have some other modification in it. I commented out everything in the game loop but still got warning. Before it gets to the pollEvent call, it loads a bunch of images and sounds. I put in to pollEvent calls in that code. The popup no longer appears. It must have spent too much time between starting the window and getting to the pollEvent.
