When using zenity, e.g.

  zenity --info foo

I get the following message:

Dear Maintainer,


Whatever I do with Zenity there is:
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is
discouraged.

It is not only annoying.

It disturbes scripts using zenity. Including editor entries that require
zenity.

I am doing: vim, then

!zenity --options

and I get in editor Gtk bugs. This should not be there, not in zenity
package.

This is not a 'bug' as such.

One of the GTK+ devs decided to insert this warning into the Gtk Dialog
function gtk_dialog_map because he thinks no dialog window (as used by
LOTS of applications, including Zenity) should run without a parent
window - see
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-May/msg00576.html and
https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/blob/master/gtk/gtkdialog.c.

Or perhaps it is a bug - in Gtk+.

According to
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-May/msg00576.html

"We want make it mandatory for dialogs to have transient parents,
eventually. This is a first step in that direction."

So, perhaps this is currently not really a bug in zenity, but this
will become a more important bug with some future version of GTK+,
once this has been made mandatory. So, in short, zenity should be
fixed.
