Description
XSetTransientForHint() sets the XA_WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property of the specified window. This should be done when the window w is a temporary
child (for example, a dialog box) and the main top-level window of its application is prop_window. Some window managers may use this
information to unmap an application's dialog boxes (for example, when the main application window gets iconified).
