One issue is how this interacts with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE (see
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/x183.html), though I
don't think it makes any difference - we can set
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG anytime the transient_for hint is set.
I guess it's possible to have a dialog without a parent onscreen
though, so this whole transient_for = dialog deal may be broken in
that respect.
