I think it's better to check compiler warning in 2 minutes than
spending two days on debugging:) I prefer always enable all warnings in
new projects. Clearly that Geany is big project and enabling all
warnings may be quite painful. But it will certainly reduce number of
errors - when you consider every line of code twice.

-Werror is a good practice for people who ignore compiler warnings:)

Some stupid warnings may be easily disabled (-Wno-unused-parameter).
