Automatically add 2>/dev/null every time zenity is called
Edit the file ~/.bashrc and search for these lines:
# some more ls aliases
alias ll='ls -alF'
alias la='ls -A'
alias l='ls -CF'
Add the following lines after:
# Add zenity alias to make the annoying terminal error message disappear forever:
# "Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged."
alias zenity="zenity 2>/dev/null"
Save the file and open a new terminal window to test:
zenity --info --text "Hello Zenity-Silly-Error-Free World"
Voila! All your old code is fixed and future code doesn’t need to have 2>/dev/null appended to it like all the other answers instruct.
