GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent / rename dir w/ file mgr

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent.

This appeared when I changed the name of a directory from my file manager using rename.

- Using Awesome WM
- Renamed a directory using right click/rename
- Terminal displayed the 'Gtk-Message' above.

Afterwards I moved around in directories to see if there would be a problem and had no issues.

Why is this being displayed and what does it mean?  Please and thank you!

Re: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent / rename dir w/ file mgr

It means that the dialog is not attached to a main window (that it will stay above or so), iow: nothing, maybe a "bug" (glitch) in the process that triggers the rename (should pass a main window)
