Well, there I put my foot in my mouth. After some more looking it _is_
implemented, but (unless I'm doing a repeat mouthfill) it sets the
wm_transient_for to the root window. Not that I'm sure that setting it 
to something else, like the ID of the top-level application window
would actually cause the sought effect. I'll go back to studying Xlib
now, I think. :)
