this error and issue just came upon suddenly. Anyone else having this issue and or more importantly anyone know of how to go about fixing this issue.

your time in advance is greatly appreciated

By looking at the warning, seems like you should downgrade the GTK version installed on your system. https://github.com/wmww/gtk-layer-shell/blob/master/compatibility.md

I've updated https://github.com/wmww/gtk-layer-shell/blob/master/compatibility.md to note that GTK Layer Shell v0.6.0 works fine with GTK v3.24.31. Crash is almost unrelated from that warning.

I would therefore expect downgrading GTK not to help. If someone did try it and it did help, that would indicate something else in wf-shell is incompatible with the new GTK (but probably something else in wf-shell is just broken in general).
