Putting a window, usually a dialog, in transient state for another window means that that window can not be used while the dialog is on − this is sometimes also called a modal dialog. When you select the root window (which is an X11 concept, not a real window with a frame and everything), this then means that the dialoge should be put above the others and that this window has to be handled before anything can be done to the other windows. As pinentry-gtk-2 grabs the key input (meaning all key presses go to that window) it is confusing for the user that they can still work with other windows using the mouse. This patch fixes this, as it tells the window manager about the special situation of this window.
