What in the world does that comment mean?  What is the antecedent of the 
pronoun "it" in your last sentence? 

Frankly, I don't know why he wants to hide his main window when he 
displays an error message.  I can only assume he has his reasons.  So, 
if "Gtk::MessageDialog visible, parent window invisible" is indeed 
impossible, how about just saying so and leave it at that?
