I had this same issue. To resolve it I edited:

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/autokey/gtkui/dialogs.py

and commented out line 603.

#self.ui.set_transient_for(parent)

I have attached the updated file.

Tried the solution on Ubuntu but when I then try to record keyboard keys I get 
the following error:

Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.4.2/./gtk/gtktextview.c:3726:gtk_text_view_val
idate_onscreen: assertion failed: (priv->onscreen_validated)
Aborted (core dumped)

I am getting same error and found this with google.

I am leaving a note for other googlers on what was probably other peoples 
solutions and my solution.

I installed and use autokey-qt

# apt-get install autokey-qt

works perfectly.
