See >> https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkdialog.c#n776 The trouble is - it is a legitimate use case when the dialog has no parent or the parent of the dialog is a Desktop/WM. It means that this dialog has system modality vs. application modality. In addition I just gave one legitimate use-case where the application is dialog-based and the main frame comes in later after the dialog is gone. Most users will just ignore it but some will file a bug report saying that this is a bug in the software, whereas this is an issue in the underlying toolkit.
