hi,
i think this is a case when the warning, (which can be ignored), is meant for the developer, and not the end-user.
i would trap the error, ignore it, and definitely not forward to the end-user; following the dictum "avoid confusing them as much as possible..."

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.
Thank you.
