A properties window isn't really tied to the main window it came from. It'
s a separate window that can stand alone. If you get another property 
window for the same item again, it will just bring that window to the 
front. That's probably why "transient for" bit isn't set.

But if there's no other way to make sure that a new window comes up in 
front, maybe we can mark even these "not really transient for any specific 
parent" windows transient for some particular window.

What do you think, Havoc?
