After online upgrade (Xfce desktop) to 13.2 zenity started throwing warnings like so:
stan@linux-ektu:~/bin> zenity --title "Test" --info --text "Hello World"
(zenity:18823): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkButton:use-stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
(zenity:18823): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
(zenity:18823): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkImage:stock is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It will be removed in a future version.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
stan@linux-ektu:~/bin>
The dialog itself comes up ok and everything works save for this warning. So far I redirect STDERR with “2>/dev/null” after every zenity prompt in my scripts but that is obviously a crude hack rather than a solution.
Did something happen to Zenity or GTK libraries between 13.1. and 13.2?
Maybe you need to upgrade Zenity
I have zenity 3.14.0-1.1 from 13.2 OSS. No other versions are available in my repos. On my yet unupdated 13.1 machines it’s 3.10.2-2.8.1.

Nothing to worry about here - these are messages the developers either
have to deal with, or that they put there to remind themselves to deal
with them.
As long as Zenity works, there’s nothing for you to worry about here.

…these are messages the developers either

Yes, so I gathered.
These warnings fill my script outputs with junk, however, and when I saw them first I thought something else went really wrong with GTK. Suppressing zenity output helped but i would rather remind the developers that these warnings were not meant for general users.
Does this warrant a bug report?
Since it’s not related to upgrade but simply to the latest zenity, perhaps someone could move this thread to an appropriate forum, no one would search for zenity warnings here.
Little openSUSE can do about other’s programs. You need to build fire under Zenity developers.
I got the impression that it’s GTK developers pestering GTK app developers to make them pay more attention to GTK APIs. Zenity is just one example. Their project page doesn’t take bug submissions from general public, so … nothing, not my fight, extra warnings are just collateral damage.

Probably not.

Zenity itself isn’t going to output anything that’s likely to be of
importance to you, so you can try redirecting its output to /dev/null (if
they used stderr, you can redirect that and use the stdout output, if
any, in your scripts).
