[Bug 1666178] Re: Legacy apps are crashing in mir_create_modal_dialog_window_spec() due to NULL parent pointer

[Daniel van Vugt]

OK, from the duplicate bug I can see the common theme. We either have
buggy toolkits, or just some legacy apps expect to create "modal"
dialogs without a parent window. I'm not sure if that's an app bug, but
Mir will certainly abort() if you ask for that.

** Summary changed:

- synfigstudio crashed with SIGABRT in require() from mir_create_modal_dialog_window_spec() from mir_connection_create_spec_for_modal_dialog()
+ Legacy apps are crashing in mir_create_modal_dialog_window_spec() due to NULL parent pointer
